THAMES COVID-19 swabbing clinic reopens
The Thames Community-Based Assessment Centre at Te Korowai Hauora o Hauraki reopened today to recommence community swabbing for COVID-19.
The CBAC will be open for three weeks and then procedures will be reassessed. It will be run out of Room 1 at Te Korowai Hauora o Hauraki, 210 Richmond Street, Thames. People who suspect they have been in contact with COVID-19, or who have symptoms they need checking should first phone Te Korowai on FREEPHONE 0508 835 676. They will then be given instructions about when and how to come to the clinic, including remaining in their car until a nurse comes to their vehicle to take a swab. It is important people remain in their cars and do not come into the clinic.
CBAC testing is available to everyone in the community. People can still get tested through their regular GP but need to follow the same safety guidelines by phoning them first. Health Te Aroha GOP clinic in Te Aroha also has a swabbing facility.
The Thames CBAC will be open from 8.30am to 4pm Mondays to Fridays.
