Many of Southern NSW LHD's testing clinics have been very busy following the announcement of Covid-19 cases in the ACT.

While NSW residents who have visited the ACT since August 5 are under stay at home orders, a SNSWLHD said testing was not required as part of those orders.
People should seek testing only if:
- They have been identified as a close or casual contact.
- They are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms such as fever, dry cough, shortness of breath or a sore throat.
- They have visited a venue of concern/exposure site.

Be prepared to wait
During this period of high demand, anyone seeking a test should be prepared to wait. Take water and snacks and use the portaloos or outside toilets at the testing site. Please do not enter a health facility while you wait for your test.
