The Loddon Mallee rapid response testing team will provide the service to those communities where testing is not easily available without a lengthy drive.
“We understand not all members of these communities will feel comfortable coming to bigger centres for testing or indeed have easy access to transport,” a Bendigo Health spokesperson said.
“The testing is for those with even the mildest COVID-19 symptoms, but we are happy to have a conversation with anyone in the community who may be concerned about the virus and discuss the best way forward with them.”
