What the council has said
Councillor Kevin Nicholson, Darlington Borough Council’s cabinet member for health and housing, said: "With more than 4,000 tests already carried out in the first phase, the response to our community testing programme in Darlington has been excellent, and it’s great to see Darlington leading the way in terms of mass testing in the region."
