COVID-19 TESTING UPDATE

I urge everyone in the community to come forward and get tested for COVID-19 if you have been at an identified exposure site or have symptoms of COVID-19, no matter how mild.

There are a number of testing sites in Shepparton and Mooroopna and we have the capacity to test you.

Additional testing staff and resources continue to be mobilised from the ADF and health services across rural Victoria and Melbourne and this has allowed extended hours.

Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms should urgently be tested, this will allow the public health teams to understand more quickly what is occurring in this outbreak.

The GV Health Facebook page is updated daily on testing site locations and opening times.

For the list of current exposure sites, visit coronavirus.vic.gov.au/exposure-sites

To save you time at the testing clinic, you can now register for a COVID-19 test online. To register, complete the online form at testtracker.covid19.dhhs.vic.gov. au/citizen-prefill

Then present your registration code when you arrive at the testing site.

Testing is available in other locations in the region and details can be found at coronavirus.vic.gov.au/where-get-testedcovid-19
