NEW RAPID ANTIGEN TEST COLLECTION SITE NOW IN WAIMATE
MONDAY to SATURDAY, 9am to 11pm

If you are showing COVID-19 symptoms or are a household contact, you can either pre-order a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) online to collect, or go to the Waimate RAT collection site, now available.

The distribution site will be at the Waimate Rugby Club on Wall Street from Monday to Saturday, 9am to 11am.

If you are symptomatic or a household contact, you can now order free rapid antigen tests (RATs) through the newly launched RAT requester website requestrats.covid19.health.nz, or by ringing 0800 222 478 (option 3) from 8am to 8pm. Please note, you will need to have access to a mobile phone to validate the order

You will be issued an order number and then you can then collect your RAT order from a RAT collection site, or have someone collect it for you.

For people who are not unwell or a household contact, but want to get a RAT for other purposes, such as to visit an elderly relative, you will also be able to purchase these at retailers – including supermarkets.

REPORTING YOUR RESULT
If you complete a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) you need to report your result on My Covid Record. Log into mycovidrecord.health.nz, or call 0800 222 478 and press option 3.
