NCN Heath chief executive Jacque Phillips said the Numurkah and Cobram hospitals would be running community testing stations from Wednesday, June 24, while Nathalia and Yarrawonga were offering COVID-19 swabbing by appointment.
“The four hospitals in the Moira Shire are working to find and treat any cases of COVID-19 that could lead to community transmission or outbreak,” Ms Phillips said.
“Testing will be available to people who are showing symptoms, however mild, of COVID-19 including fever, chills or sweats, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath or runny nose.”
