COVID-19 Testing Clinics

744 Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (25 August 2021). What measures were taken after the Parafield cluster to reduce waiting times and managing queueing at COVID Testing sites?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education): The Minister for Health and Wellbeing has been advised:

In partnership with the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, SA Pathology has now established an online booking system at the Bedford Park, Port Adelaide, Regency Park, Ridgehaven Waterworld, Repatriation Health Precinct and Victoria Park Pakapakanthi drive-through sites to reduce wait times.

SA Pathology currently provides 24-hour testing at the Victoria Park Pakapakanthi, Waterworld Ridgehaven and Tailem Bend COVID-19 drive-through testing sites.

SA Pathology continues to monitor local testing demand with a view to quickly and efficiently increase the operating hours at its COVID-19 testing sites as required.
