Where to get tested
|
As restrictions ease across the state, the state government is urging Queenslanders to get tested for COVID-19 if they experience any possible symptoms.
Getting tested will help authorities identify COVID-19 cases in the community as quickly as possible, and assist in managing Queensland's response to the pandemic.
There are testing centres at Tewantin and Noosaville. For more information, see the state government's website.
