Two new coronavirus test centres are set to open in Trafford and Stockport.
The walk-through facilities will be opened at Former Moss View Community School in Partington and at the Brinnington Park Leisure Complex.
Appointments for both centres must be booked in advance.
The sites can be accessed without a car.
Those attending will be required to follow social distancing and wear a face covering.
The testing centre in Partington will be operated in partnership with Mitie and will offer self-administered tests.
Self-administered tests will also be offered at the centre in Brinnington, which will be operated in partnership with Sodexo.
Anyone with Covid-19 symptoms will be advised against travelling to the test centre by taxi or public transport.
Health Minister Lord Bethell said: “Testing is proving an effective way to contain the virus so we are scaling testing capacity and walk-through centres to make it even easier for everyone to get a free coronavirus test.
“Our NHS Test and Trace service will contact you if you test positive or if you have been in close contact with someone who has the virus.
"I urge anyone with symptoms to book a test today - and anyone contacted by NHS Test and Trace to follow their advice to protect those around them from the virus.”
Baroness Dido Harding, interim executive chair of the National Institute for Health Protection, said: “Getting a test is now faster and easier than ever.
"Local sites will mean anyone who has symptoms can get a free test quickly to find out whether they have the virus and need to stay at home, or can safely return to work and get back to the things they love.
“Over 95 per cent of people will get their results the next day, and anyone who tests positive will be contacted by NHS Test and Trace to help to prevent the spread of the virus.”
Tests should be booked or ordered as soon as symptoms begin at nhs.uk/coronavirus or by calling 119.
