The latest figures show that 139 new Covid-19 cases have been confirmed on Teesside in the past 24 hours.

According to data released by Public Health England yesterday, Middlesbrough recorded the highest number of cases with 43, whilst in Stockton there were a further 40.

A pilot scheme aimed at reducing the spread of Covid-19 starts in our area today.

The pilot of lateral flow tests, which produce results in around 30 minutes, will be launching at Grangetown United Community Hub from today.

The pilot aims to reduce the spread of Covid-19 by identifying residents who are positive but who do not display any symptoms. 

About one in three people who have coronavirus have no symptoms and will be spreading it without realising.

Testing will be supported by Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council staff.
