TESTIng AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE WITH SYMPTOMS

14 April 2020

New testing recommendations were announced this morning, extending the criteria to include all people with consistent clinical symptoms - not just those in specific jobs, age-groups, or people in contact with infected individuals.

These symptoms include:

Fever, or chills - in the absence of an alternative diagnosis that explains the clinical presentation

OR

Acute respiratory infection that is characterised by cough, sore throat or shortness of breath

If you are concerned that may require testing, contact your medical practitioner or ring the 24-hour hotline 1800 675 398
