A drive through coronavirus clinic is set to open at the Repat Health Clinic in Daw Park in the latest bid to stem the spread of COVID-19.
According to 7 News:
The clinic is the first of its kind in the country and will open its doors – or, lanes – on Wednesday.
The collection service is designed for patients who have been assessed and received a pathology request form from their GPs.
The specimen will be taken by SA Pathology nurses for testing.
“While the drive-through concept is unique, our short trial proved that it is a successful way of safely collecting specimens without exposing the wider public,” SA Pathology’s Dr Tom Dodd said.
Patients are required to book in advance before attending the drive-through clinic.
In an Australian first, a drive-through coronavirus clinic has been set up in Adelaide. The facility, based at the Repat health precinct at Daw Park, will see its first patients tomorrow. https://t.co/eAQNLH2oFj #COVID19 #7NEWS pic.twitter.com/NrDBdMjSI6
