Laverty general manager Matthew Brumby. said the clinic opening is a commitment to provide residents in the Camden Haven district with the safest and most convenient method to test for COVID-19.

"We continue to open drive-through clinics like this to make it easier for more people to be tested as lockdown restrictions are eased and business and community activity begins to return," Mr Brumby said.

"Anyone can come to the drive-through for collection of a swab specimen for COVID-19 testing.

"These drive-throughs are by far the easiest, safest and most convenient way for anyone to be tested for COVID- 19 and we have been encouraged by the public's response to them."

The drive-through facility is located in the Camden Haven Community Centre car park, 66 Norman St, Laurieton and is open from 9.30am to 3.30pm Monday to Friday.

Residents wishing to use the service will need to arrive in a vehicle with their Medicare card and ID. They can bring a pathology request form from their doctor.

Patients must remain in their vehicles at all times while a collector in full protective equipment performs the test. Test results are generally provided to the referring doctor within 24-48 hours of the samples reaching the laboratory.

Patients may elect to have negative results sent to them via SMS. Any patient with a positive result will be contacted directly by the GP referring them to the clinic.
