A drive-through COVID-19 respiratory clinic operating in northwest Sydney is testing 400 patients a week.
The clinic at the swim-centre car park on Market Street in Riverstone is operated by the Riverstone Family Medical Practice.
Dr Sharon Muir from the clinic said no patient has tested positive for COVID-19 so far.
“We have needed to send patients to hospital based on their preliminary telephone clinical assessment, a few of whom seemed very suspicious for a severe infection,” she said.
Dr Muir said about 30-40 per cent of patients are coming from The Hills district.
“We see that the service we’re offering is vital to identify any residual SARS-COV2 virus in our community and protect from increasing spread as the relaxation of social restrictions take place,” she said.
Bella Vista Clinical Labs is also operating a drive-through clinic located at 14 Lexington Drive, Bella Vista.
It comes as NSW Health reveals the number of active and recovered cases in The Hills district.
