Staff and trained volunteers will be knocking on doors to deliver testing kits and to speak with residents about the coronavirus.
The council has targeted certain areas that have a high number of cases.

Today(FEB2): Hamilton, St Saviours
Tomorrow(FEB3): Stoneygate, St Matthews and St Peters, Northfields
