Do you need to be tested for COVID-19?
Hi Tararua, how are you feeling?
Do you have a winter sniffle? Coughing, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat? Have you lost your sense of smell or taste? Feverish or short of breath?
If you have any one of the above symptoms we would like to see you for a COVID-19 test at your local testing site.
It’s free and the Tararua testing centre is available from 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday, and 9am to 12pm on Saturday.
If you need a test on Sunday, we have a testing centre in Palmerston North that you can also visit.
Please call Healthline on 0800 358 5453 to get an appointment.
