SAFETY FIRST FOR SNOW-BOUND HOLIDAYMAKERS

Rapid testing for COVID-19 is available in the Snowy Mountains region helping safeguard skiiers, boarders and snow enthusiasts enjoying our winter holiday resorts. 

Health Minister Brad Hazzard said rapid-testing for high-risk patients will be conducted at NSW Health Pathology’s Cooma Lab to enable early management of any suspected cases. 

“Fast, accurate testing to confirm COVID and thorough contact tracing is the most effective way to keep community transmission at bay and prevent further outbreaks,” Mr Hazzard said. 

“Expanding NSW Health Pathology’s rapid testing to the ski region will provide greater protection for resort workers and holidaymakers but only if people come forward for testing.” 

NSW Health Pathology’s Bega laboratory will support Cooma by conducting non-urgent tests. 

Transport for NSW has also released information about driving safely in the snow, including tips for handling the road and preparing a vehicle for driving in snow.
