Persons who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 are advised to call the COVID-19 Helpline on tel: 25888 to arrange an appointment at one of the testing clinics. Persons will be triaged and, if a COVID-19 test is required, an appointment will be arranged.
The appointment process assists recording purposes and is to avoid any unnecessary congestion and delays within the testing clinics. Persons who arrive at the testing clinic without an appointment will not be tested and will be advised to call the COVID-19 Helpline for an appointment.
