A high capacity drive-through Covid-19 testing clinic, which patients can attend without an appointment or doctors referral is opening in Warners Bay.
Local Newcastle family owned business Medtech, and 4Cyte Pathology have worked with Hunter New England Health, to open the clinic on Thursday 30th July.
The clinic will operate at Central Church, 290 Hillsborough Road, Warners Bay.
The clinic will be open from 8am - 4pm on weekdays, and from 8am -11am on Saturdays, and will be closed on Sundays.
"The Warners Bay drive-thru is the first of its kind in the region where patients can attend without either an appointment or a Doctor’s referral. Patients can simply attend at their convenience," Medtech and 4Cyte said in a statement.
This drive through clinic aims to reduce the number of patients attending GP clinics, before they have been cleared of COVID 19.
It also aims to reduce crowding at local hospital testing centers and increase regional testing capability.
Patients will received their negative testing results via a direct-to-patient SMS.
Testing is available for all ages including infants.
