"A number of our smaller COVID testing sites will still be by appointment only (Pambula Hospital, Bombala MPS, Eden, Perisher and Thredbo) - call 1800 999 880," a SNSWLHD spokesperson said.
"You can now also register your details for testing over the phone before heading to a site clinic.
"By calling the 1800 999 880 COVID line, you'll also be given an option to speak with a registered nurse or health care worker if you're unwell, need more information, or have specific needs that requires a scheduled appointment for a COVID-19 test.
"A reminder if you are very unwell to contact triple zero."

The local team will need to register you at the testing clinic when you arrive if you haven't done so over the phone, so make sure you have your Medicare card and GP contact information with you.
An online query and booking form is being made available on the SNSWLHD website to register for a call back regarding test results or other queries, or to book a COVID clinic appointment at Perisher or Thredbo.
SNSWLHD staff are working to provide the community with timely, safe and appropriate access to COVID testing across the district, and we appreciate the community's cooperation and patience during this time.
