The first coronavirus test centre in Leeds has now opened.
A number of other drive-thru sites have already been in operation across the country, but Leeds now has its own Covid-19 testing site too.
However, the test centre at Temple Green, near junction 45 of the M1, is not open to members of the public.
Instead, self-isolating NHS workers will be given an appointment by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust to visit the site, while members of their family who are showing symptoms will also be granted access.
The swabs will be sent to specialist labs in Milton Keynes, Alderley Park and Glasgow, with the test results coming back within a few days.
The Temple Green site is the 15th to open in the UK, with the government hoping to eventually open 50 across the country.
'This will enable staff to access testing and return to work quicker if their test proves negative'
Dr David Black, medical director for NHS England in North East and Yorkshire, said: "Thank you to all our teams for working so hard over the last few days to support this national programme, including our local NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups, NHS trusts and the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Health and Care Partnership.
"We welcome this facility which will increase staff testing capability across the patch and is in addition to the work already happening in our hospital labs.
"Importantly, this will enable wider groups of staff to access testing and return to work quicker if their test proves negative, as well offering some reassurance for them."
Health minister Lord Bethell said: "The government is rapidly scaling up the national effort to boost testing capacity for coronavirus to protect the vulnerable, support our NHS, and ultimately save lives.
"This new service will help end the uncertainty of whether NHS and social care staff need to stay at home meaning those who test negative will be able to return to work.
"This is a national effort and we are proud to be working with a number of partners to turn this ambition into a reality and roll out additional capacity to where it is needed."
