SA opens Australia’s first drive-through COVID-19 testing clinic

SA Pathology assisted opening Australia’s first drive-through COVID-19 test collection centre at The Repat site at Daw Park, which became a model for other states.[1, 2, 3]

The collection service was designed for patients who have been assessed and received a pathology request form from their GPs.  In time, drive-through testing was for anyone who suspected infection from SARS-CoV-2, whether they had symptoms or not.
