Testing times

The State Government has been called on to change how the Covid-19 testing clinic in Mt Barker operates and to better protect people waiting in line from the weather.
Federal Member for Mayo Rebekha Sharkie wants a drive through site, a booking system or, at the very least, more shelter after people were forced to wait for hours in freezing conditions and driving rain last week to get a test.
“The weather has been horrendous and many people have been caring for elderly parents or relatives who needed to get tested,” she said.
“I don’t want a person in their 90s with no chair standing in the rain holding an umbrella for hours.”
