New COVID-19 testing centres in Counties Manukau

The Team from Counties Manukau Health

COVID-19 testing centres are now running in Botany, Takanini and Papatoetoe this week - check out the images below for dates and times.

Remember a few key tips if you need to get a test:
- Wear a mask or face covering when you go to get your test.
- If you know your NHI number please have this handy.
- Ensure you have a working cellphone number – this is important to notify you of your test result.
- It’s important the right people have access to testing. If you were not at a location of interest at the stated times and you have no symptoms you do not need to be tested.

For a full list of locations of interest, visit the Ministry of Health website: bit.ly...

If you have COVID-19 symptoms, please follow our normal advice: stay home and call your family doctor or Healthline (0800 358 5453) for advice on getting a test.

Please be patient and kind to our health care professionals. For more information on all testing site locations in Auckland, please visit: www.arphs.health.nz...
