Super testers
A break down of Bass Coast's Covid testing figures over the past week.
As Bass Coast Health encourages everyone to remain vigilant and get a Covid test if displaying the mildest of symptoms, we take a look at who is testing and where!
Inverloch wins the gold medal for the most tests, with 64 people presenting at Wonthaggi for a test in the past week, followed by Wonthaggi on 53. Dalyston punched above its weight, recording 12 tests. And 17 people from Leongatha were also tested at the Wonthaggi site.
Over on the island, Cowes residents made up the lion’s share of tests at the Urgent Care Centre with 47 tests (plus another nine in Wonthaggi). Cape Woolamai was next, with 16 tests, followed by Rhyll with 10.
Eight of the tests at the Urgent Care Centre were for people who registered postcodes outside the shire as their permanent residence. This included six from metropolitan Melbourne.
All in all, the Urgent Care Centre carried out 110 tests in the past week, while 274 were done at Wonthaggi Hospital’s ED or drive-through site.
