NHS Highland said it is following Scottish Government guidance for testing possible coronavirus cases.

"Drive through" testing is one of the models it is progressing it said.

Patients with mild symptoms can drive themselves to the special tent behind the hospital for testing.

A health board spokeswoman added: "If patients are unable to use the drive through facility they will be tested at another designated testing facility at Raigmore Hospital."

It is understood this is in portable cabins near the drive-through site.
