Swan Hill Rural City Council
Now, all Victorians can pop in to a local library or designated council facility during open hours to pick up free tests.

What if I have symptoms?
Please do not come to the library if you have COVID-19 symptoms, it’s important to do what you can to prevent the spread of the virus. Please ask someone to collect the test on your behalf.

To RAT or not to RAT?
RATs remain the preferred means of testing for COVID-19. They are very good at detecting COVID-19 when you are most infectious and most likely to pass it on to others . You should take RATs for 3-4 consecutive days as COVID-19 can take several days to develop. Follow the instructions that come with your test kit as they can vary.
