Our local collection point is at the Eventfinda Stadium, 17 Silverfield, Wairau Valley, which is open 8.30 am-4:00 pm daily. You need to pre-order tests before going to this collection point.

If you have Covid symptoms, rapid tests will always be free, but if you are not symptomatic you can now purchase rapid tests from many local pharmacies.
