COVID-19 testing is available for people who have experienced even mild symptoms that can be associated with the disease. Those symptoms include: fever, a sore or 'scratchy' throat, a cough, runny nose, shortness of breath, tiredness and muscle aches.
There are currently no known cases of COVID-19 in Forbes.
It's a drive through service so you won't have to leave your car. As part of the testing staff will do a short assessment and get your details, and then do a swab from the back of your throat and then the back of your nose.
The tests are sent away for analysis and results usually come back within 48 to 72 hours.
