COVID clinic to close

SWAN Hill District Health will cease its COVID-19 testing and vaccination operations at the end of the month.

The drive-through testing clinic at the Swan Hill Showgrounds and vaccination clinic will both close on Thursday, June 30.

A SHDH spokesperson said people were encouraged to continue using rapid antigen tests for testing purposes, and report their positive tests online at www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/report.

Locals were also urged to access COVID vaccines through one of the local GP clinics or pharmacies.

"Until June 30, we will still be open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday each week between 8am-3.45pm. Walk-ins are welcome and appointments can be made by calling 5033 9960," the spokesperson said.

"We continue to offer fourth winter doses as well as catch-up doses during this time."

SHSH thanked staff involved in running both operations during the pandemic.

The number of active cases in the local government area was at its lowest since early March.
