Mass closure of Covid-19 testing sites across New South Wales

A major pathology lab has temporarily shut 28 Covid-19 testing sites across New South Wales as it tries to keep up with demand.

Australian Clinical Labs shut down drive-through and walk-in clinics on Monday, but would progressively reopen them today as it cleared through a backlog of swabs. 

‘These closures have been necessary due to the significant increase in testing volumes across the State,’ the company said. 

Drive-through sites there are shut include: Clarendon Hawkesbury Showground, Dural, Emerald Hills (Leppington), Granville (Parramatta Rd), Hornsby Overflow Car Park, Hunters Hill, Kingswood, Liverpool, Marsden Park, Minto, Parklea, Penrith, Sydney Olympic Park, Warriewood, Windsor and Winmalee.

Walk-in clinics that are shut include: Ashfield, Blacktown, Campsie, Fairfield, Frenchs Forest, Harris Park, Manly, Narrabri and Windale.

More to come.
