New long-term community testing centres (CTCs) for Covid-19 are replacing the CBACs in Auckland. Auckland’s four PHOs are introducing more mobile testing units “to provide even easier testing”. The nearest one in this region is the Whanau Ora Community Clinic at 25 Druces Road, Wiri.
It opens from 8am-3pm from Monday to Friday and provides drive-through or walk-in services.
