COVID-19 Testing sites open in Newcastle and the Hunter on New Years weekend

We’ve been seeing lines for COVID-19 testing clinics snaking around local roads all week with locals waiting hours to get a swab.

There have been reduced hours over the Christmas period and that will continue this weekend.

We have tracked down which testing clinics are open this weekend if you have to get a PCR test, but of course they are subject to change and closing early if they reach capacity.
