SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - NOVEMBER 04: Registered Nurse Reem Jabbar prepares for the arrival of people requiring COVID-19 tests at the Bondi Beach testing clinic on November 04, 2020 in Sydney, Australia. The COVID-19 testing clinic at Bondi Beach has been expanded ahead of summer to increase testing capacity as NSW health authorities encourage residents to remain vigilant for coronavirus symptoms as restrictions ease. The Bondi Beach COVID-19 testing clinic, operated by St Vincent's hospital, has tested over 50,000 people since the start of the coronavirus outbreak in Australia in March. The new shelter will give the capacity to test 16 cars simultaneously and will be able to conduct around 2,500 tests per day in the event of a major surge in community screening demand.
