Remember a few key tips if you need to get a test:
- Wear a mask or face covering when you go to get your test.
- If you know your NHI number please have this handy.
- Ensure you have a working cellphone number – this is important to notify you of your test result.
- It’s important the right people have access to testing. If you were not at a location of interest at the stated times and you have no symptoms you do not need to be tested.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
