3:04Now PlayingVolunteers have been handing out Covid-19 tests to homes in Woking in Surrey in the GU21 postcode area, following two people having testing positive to having the South African variant.
Door-to-door testers will visit all residents aged 16 and over.
The effort hopes to have 9,500 people carry out tests over the course of 5 days. Around 100 volunteers each day are delivering and collecting the tests, before they are sent to a laboratory.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock hopes to isolate every case of the South African coronavirus strain in Britain.
Public Health England has identified 105 cases of the South African variant, with 11 cases having no link to international travel. All cases and their contacts have been told to self-isolate.
