With many exposure sites now being listed across Tasmania it is critical the government gives Tasmanians ample opportunity to be tested for COVID.
Shadow Health Minister Anita Dow said getting tested plays an incredibly important part in stopping the spread of COVID across our communities.
“It is vital COVID testing is made available to rural and regional communities as we start to see exposure sights across the state,” Ms Dow said.
“It is not always practical for someone in a region to get to a testing clinic in a major centre and that is why we are encouraging the government to look at having mobile testing clinics stood up in towns when exposure sites occur across rural and regional Tasmania.
“The government need to ensure Tasmanians right across the state have clear and consistent information in relation to testing and can have access to a test if they need one no matter where they live.”
