Asymptomatic testing centre in mosque
A council leader was among those getting tested for Covid-19 at a new asymptomatic testing centre set up at Scotland's largest mosque.
Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken and Nafees Ahmad, committee member at Glasgow Central Mosque, both took the test.
The site, along with one at Govanhill Neighbourhood Centre, is the latest to be set up in the city with tests being administered by the army, aiming to identify those who are infectious and unknowingly spreading coronavirus.
Ms Aitken said: "I've never had any symptoms, I've never had any hint that I might have Covid but we know that lots of people are out there and are carrying Covid but they don't know about it and they've not had any symptoms.
"So by getting the test, if I get a positive test, I'll self-isolate right away so it takes me out of circulation and it lowers that risk of me passing it on to someone else.
"It's a way of contributing
to continuing to bringing the virus numbers down. It was quick and straightforward, very easy - not the nicest thing I've ever done but really not that unpleasant.
"I would encourage everyone to get tested. It's good thing you can do, it's your contribution to the fight against Covid."
"Anyone that's able to pop along - and there's been a steady stream of folk popping in all day, please do take the opportunity to come along - it's quick, you get your results very quickly and you'll know one way or another."
