PCR Covid-19 test centres in Dudley borough have now closed.
COVID-19 tests will continue to be available to protect people who are at higher risk of serious illness from COVID-19, and eligible for treatments, if they develop symptoms. Free tests will also continue for NHS and social care staff and those in other high-risk settings.
Symptom-free lateral flow tests, which are used for testing people without symptoms of Covid-19, are also being phased out for the majority of people in England.
If you still want to get tested and you're not eligible for a free NHS test, you must pay for a COVID-19 test yourself.
You can buy a COVID-19 test from some pharmacies and retailers, in person or online.
