COVID-19 assessment and respiratory clinics
In response to COVID-19, a number of assessment and respiratory clinics have been established. Note that not all hospitals and medical facilities possess the required equipment to test patients.
If you suspect you may have coronavirus, you can call the dedicated hotline for advice on 1800 675 398 or attend a local testing clinic. Please do not call 000, which is for emergencies only. Symptoms that should prompt people to get tested include fever, chills, shortness of breath, cough, sore throat, loss of sense of smell, or a runny nose. Even the most mild of symptoms could be a sign of coronavirus.
