Montrose’s Covid-19 assessment hub has moved indoors from the tents of a local health centre car park.
The NHS Tayside facility is now located in Links Health Centre’s Minor Injury and Illness Unit.
The hub supports clinical assessment of people with ongoing COVID symptoms.
Health chiefs have reiterated the message that the set-up is not a testing centre or a drop-in.
NHS Tayside said: “Patients are given an appointment to be seen in the Community Assessment Hub following a discussion either with their GP practice or a telephone assessment by a clinician following a call to NHS24.
Dr Chris Urwin, clinical lead for the Links Community Assessment Hub said: “Only patients appointed to attend are seen in the hub.
“On arrival for their appointment, patients are now advised to park in a designated area and call the hub.They will then be told to enter the building via the MIIU entrance.
“The outdoor structures were a real help in supporting assessment of patients initially but moving the service indoors allows clinical assessments to be carried out in a more comfortable location for the patient.”
The external tents previously used to assess patients in their cars will be removed early next week.
