Drive-Through COVID-19 Clinic To Open At McDonald Jones Stadium

BY IAN CROUCH

Hunter New England Health is hoping to put the lid on COVID-19 in Newcastle with a new testing station set to open this week.

The six-lane drive-through clinic will open at McDonald Jones Stadium this Friday.

It will be open for 10 days and will be able to test 900 people a day for coronavirus.

With case numbers stabilising in the region it's hoped the drive-through clinic will be able to capture any COVID-19 cases still circulating in the community.

Hunter New England Health says anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough or shortness of breath should get tested.
