    Waikato residents are being reminded to head to their closest drive-thru testing centre if they're showing symptoms of COVID-19

    Waikato residents are being reminded to head to their closest drive-thru testing centre if they're showing symptoms of COVID-19


    Thousands of people have used the drive-thru testing in the past week at sites across the region.

    Waikato DHB's Dr Damian Tomic (tomick) says the centres were set up in 48 hours, and it couldn't have been done without Civil Defence, Councils and Iwi.

    Testing can be done in Hamilton, Tokoroa, Ngaruawahia, Taumarunui, Huntly, Te Kuiti, Te Aroha and Thames.
