COVID-19 test

Gemma Elizabeth from Hutt Valley District Health Board

We have had large numbers of people call to book a COVID-19 test this morning – a reminder to please call Healthline first for advice on 0800 611 116, and to confirm if you need a test.

If you are a close contact, have been to a location of interest or have symptoms you are a priority and please get tested.

Information on testing sites, hours, and how to book a test is located on Healthpoint. www.healthpoint.co.nz...

If you don’t manage to get through to our booking number at first, please try again. We have increased the number of sites and extended our hours so everyone who needs to be tested can be tested.

Thank you to everyone for your patience.
