Staff, with relevant education identification, can visit the testing site at the city's Civic Centre every weekday morning between 7am and 10am.

A spokesman from Wolverhampton Council said: "Teachers and other school staff are eligible for priority Covid-19 rapid testing at the Civic Centre every weekday morning from 7am-10am. To take part, please bring along your education ID.

"Rapid testing is only available to people without symptoms of Covid-19. It uses lateral flow test technology to provide results in under an hour and can identify cases in people who don't have symptoms, but could still be infectious."
