The testing clinic will reopen at the Kingaroy aerodrome on Thursday, 6 January.

The new drive-through COVID-19 testing site will open at the Kingaroy Aerodrome from 7.30am on Thursday.

The temporary site will be open until 3.30pm.

Testing will not be available at the Kingaroy Hospital.

• You have COVID-19 symptoms including fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose or

loss of taste and smell, vomiting or nausea, diarrhoea

• You have completed a positive rapid antigen test (RAT)

Please enter the airport precinct via the Edenvale South Road entrance. Traffic will flow one-way through the testing site, exiting onto the Kingaroy-Cooyar Road.
