Edgbaston Stadium to become COVID-19 testing centre

Sentinel Digital Desk

London: The Edgbaston Stadium will be used as the NHS in a bid to help in the battle against COVID-19 with Warwickshire donating it for the cause. According to a ESPNCricinfo report, the ground — more specifically, the car park — will be used as a drive-through testing centre for NHS staff.

Those requiring tests will drive in through the Edgbaston Road entrance and undergo the procedure while remaining in their vehicle. They will then leave via the Pershore Road exit.

There are also plans from Warwickshire to offer NHS staff free entry to a Vitality Blast fixture later in the summer, the report says. IANS
