COVID-19 testing clinics will close across New South Wales in the coming weeks as the state moves to only offering PCR tests through private pathology services.
Residents will need a referral for a PCR test, which has been described as"important for those most at risk of severe COVID and as recommend by treating clinicians".
"PCR testing requested by a medical or nurse practitioner will continue to be available at private pathology services with a referral form," Dr Chant said. Health Minister Ryan Park said there had been a significant drop in demand for PCR testing in recent months.
