- They do not have any COVID-19 symptoms.
- No one in their household has COVID-19 symptoms.
- They, and no one else in their household, is a close contact of person with COVID-19.
- They have not been to any of the places listed as a close or casual contact venue.
Free drive-through testing is available at the old Clancy Motors site on Howick Street.
The drive-through clinic is open from 8am-4pm each day.
