A drive-through GP station has been opened in Monmouthshire to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.
The station, set up in Raglan, will not test for coronavirus but will allow patients with an appointment to drive up to the facility and be assessed from their car.
The measure, known as a temporary clinical assessment centre, will then allow the GP team to determine if a patient requires advice, treatment, a face-to-face appointment, or a referral.
The new facility comes as the Aneurin Bevan health board remains the area with the highest concentration of cases in Wales.
There are currently 681 cases confirmed in the historic Gwent area compared to 460 in Cardiff and Vale and 1,837 cases across Wales.
While not every GP will have its own temporary assessment centre services offered by GP surgeries in Gwent will take place in either an isolated area of the surgery, in a temporary clinical assessment centre, or at home.
Those with suspected coronavirus symptoms are advised to stay at home and call 111 if their symptoms worsen. Those without an appointment are asked not to attend the centre.
A spokesman for Aneurin Bevan University Health Board said: "All GP surgeries in the health board area are ready and prepared to treat patients with suspected and confirmed coronavirus (Covid-19) and they are following the national community framework to do so.
"The care GP surgeries offer during the coronavirus pandemic will take place in either an isolated area of the surgery, in a temporary clinical assessment centre, or at home.
"To prevent the spread of the virus in some areas surgeries have collaborated with other practices to introduce temporary drive-up facilities which will reduce the number of people entering buildings.
"Marquees outside surgery buildings provide a private area which will allow patients to stay in their vehicle whilst initial patient observations are undertaken. The surgery teams will then determine whether patients require advice, treatment, a face-to-face appointment, or a referral.
"These facilities will not carry out testing for Covid-19."
