And here is the update for today…..
Firstly we have received the following advice:
- Anyone living within the resort is exempt from requiring a test to enter the resort, meaning they can leave and return without having a test.
- Essential services are exempt from requiring a test to enter the resort.
- Students living outside the resort that attend school in the resort are exempt from requiring a test to enter the resort.
- People who work within the resort but live outside the resort must have a negative test within 7 days prior to arrival.
- Anyone else entering the resort must have a negative test within 72 hours prior to arrival. This includes school groups.
You should discuss your individual requirements with your employer. We will swab. We won’t tell you if you are exempt.
As from 29th July we will be operating the testing clinic from Mansfield Showgrounds, Mt Battery Road. This will be a drive through clinic and no appointment is required. Testing will be from 9:30am until 3:00pm, 7 days per week.
You need to be aware that there may be queues, so be prepared to wait. Bring your Medicare card and follow the instructions of our staff.
Mt Buller testing will continue to be available 7 days per week by appointment with time set aside in the morning and afternoon. The number to call is 5777 6730.
Today we have tested 90 people on Mt Buller and nearly 250 in Mansfield.
