The Victorian Government encourages communities living in these suburbs ...to get tested (even if you do not show symptoms). If you have been unwell or have tested, please stay home. There have also been other new testing stations set up at Melbourne Showgrounds and Highpoint Shopping Centre. Practise physical distancing of at least 1.5 metres and follow medical and government advice.
