Chesterfield's Proact Stadium to be used as coronavirus testing venue for key workers

The car park at the stadium is to be used as a testing venue on an appointment-only basis while it is closed to staff and fans.

Ashley Carson, company secretary told the BBC: "We were only too happy to make the car park available to the NHS as they need all the support they can get at this time.

"The stadium is easily accessible with plenty of parking spaces so it is an ideal venue for the testing to take place."

Fencing is being erected around the car park and security measures are being arranged.

Dominic Raab is expected to later extend the uk’s lockdown measures, as 740 new deaths were announced in England.

Downing Street has said the UK has the capacity to conduct 35,000 tests a day - although fewer than half that number are currently being carried out.
