    Testing and fever clinics —


    coronavirus (COVID-19)

    To find out more about testing


    and what is involved, read our
    blog post: Everything you ever
    wanted to know about testing
    for coronavirus (COVID-19) in
    Queensland

    Getting tested
    As restrictions ease across Queensland, we
    need more people to get tested for COVID-19.
    Getting tested will help us find as many cases
    in the community as quickly as possible. This
    will ensure we are doing everything we can to
    manage Queensland’s response to the
    pandemic.

    If you have any of the following COVID-19


    symptoms, no matter how mild, call your
    doctor or 13HEALTH (13 43 25 84) and get
    tested:

    Fever

    Cough

    Sore throat

    Shortness of breath

    Runny nose

    Fatigue

    Loss of smell and/or

    taste
    Call emergency services on 000 if you are very
    sick.

    Where to get tested


    If you have any symptoms of COVID-19, you
    can visit:

    Your local doctor


    Before your appointment, please call ahead
    and tell them about your symptoms so they
    can prepare for your visit.

    Fever clinics
    Fever clinics are specialist clinics managed by
    Hospital and Health Services that assess
    people who may be infected with COVID-19.
    These clinics help to keep people who may be
    contagious away from other areas of hospitals
    and health centres. This helps to reduce the
    potential spread of the virus and keeps the
    emergency department available for
    emergencies.

    Please be aware that during peak periods the


    wait times at our fever clinics could be a few
    hours. Please remember to social distance
    while you wait.

    closest location, or contact your local hospital
    or call 13HEALTH (13 43 25 84).

    To support Queensland’s response to COVID-


    19, people who do not have adequate
    insurance coverage and are not eligible for
    Medicare will not be charged out of pocket
    expenses if they present to any Queensland
    Health facility for assessment in relation to
    COVID-19 infection.

    About the testing process


    Testing for COVID-19 involves collecting nasal
    (inside your nose) or throat swabs, and/or
    sputum (mucus coughed up). These samples
    are then transferred to the nearest laboratory
    that is set up to test for COVID-19.

    If you are tested for COVID-19 but aren't


    really sick, you may be sent home to self-
    isolate while you wait for the test results. This
    may take several days.

    If you are really sick you may be admitted to


    hospital for treatment. If you become sicker
    while you are waiting for results, please
    contact your doctor or call an ambulance.
    Make sure you let them know you are waiting
    for test results for COVID-19.

    If the result is positive, you will receive a call


    from a public health doctor or nurse who will
    tell you what to do next. If you are well enough
    to take care of yourself, you will need to stay at
    home in self-isolation until you recover. If you
    get sicker, you may be admitted to hospital in
    an isolation area.

    If the result is negative, your doctor or the


    clinic that tested you may let you know.
    Depending on where you got tested, you may
    just receive an automated SMS. If you have
    been issued with a notice telling you to self-
    quarantine, you must stay in self-quarantine
    until the end date written on the notice, even if
    you get a negative result. This is because you
    may still develop COVID-19 infection.

    If you are waiting on a test result, the people


    you live with and other close contacts do not
    need to be in quarantine unless the local public
    health unit tells them to. They should stay
    away from the sick person as much as possible.
    If the test result is positive, they may be
    assessed as a close contact and will then need
    to be in quarantine.

    Negative test results from Pathology


    Queensland
    If you’ve been tested in a public Queensland
    Health facility and have not received any call
    or a SMS notification and would like to follow
    up your negative test result, you can call
    Pathology Queensland on 1800 472 847. Test
    results for those under 16 years old cannot be
    provided over the phone, but you can request
    a copy of the result to be sent to your GP.

    Please wait at least 36 hours after your test


    was collected. This service is only available
    from 8:15am to 5:15pm on weekdays.

    Anyone who has had testing performed at


    Mater Pathology, QML, Sullivan & Nicolaides
    Pathology, MedLab or 4Cyte Pathology can
    get their results from their referring GP.
