Cobram District Health

NCN Health is encouraging all community members who have very mild, flu like symptoms to get tested for COVID-19 at one of the 4 hospitals within the Moira Shire.

The four hospitals in the Moira Shire are working to find and treat any cases of COVID-19 that could lead to community transmission or outbreak. Testing will be available to people who are showing symptoms, however mild, of COVID-19 including; fever, chills or sweats, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose or fatigue or tiredness for no identified reason.

The test is free, takes around five minutes and involves a swab from the back of your throat and nose. You need to bring at least one form of identification, such as your Medicare card, and you should return home immediately after the test and remain in self-isolation until you receive your test result.

If you feel unwell, with symptoms of COVID-19, you can now access testing at the following times and locations;

• Numurkah Hospital          Monday to Friday, 9am – 10am                         Ph: 5862 0555
