Southern NSW Local Health District said the new location allowed for better traffic flow as well as easier access for both the community awaiting testing and staff running the clinic.
As such, COVID-19 testing clinic will now close at SERH.
The drive through clinic at the Old Bega Racecourse will be open Monday to Fridays, 8am until 2pm, and weekends 9am until 2pm. No booking required.
To access the testing clinic, vehicles need to enter from Auckland St, turn right on to Jacksonia Grove moving towards the corner of East St. Traffic control will be in place.
If testing is urgently required, contact SERH.
