🚨🚨 FRAGMENTS OF COVID-19 DETECTED IN WAUCHOPE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT 🚨🚨

**UPDATE: A pop-up drive-through COVID-19 testing clinic will open at the Wauchope Showground at 1pm Friday and will remain open until 6pm.

Entry is via Beechwood Road.

The drive-through testing clinic will be open this Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 4pm.

The Mid North Coast Local Health District is urging locals with even the mildest of symptoms to get tested for COVID-19 following the detection of fragments of the virus in sewage samples taken from the Wauchope sewage treatment plant on 1 September 2021.

The Wauchope Sewage treatment plant serves around 8,000 residents of Wauchope, Crosslands, Beechwood and Timbertown in the Port Macquarie-Hastings Local Government Area.

This latest detection follows positive sewage samples reported from Port Macquarie, Dunbogan and Bonny Hills earlier this week. Further testing has been undertaken at those sites and all have returned negative results today (3 September).
