SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - MAY 12: Senior registrar Dr Michael Krasovitsky prepares to see patients arriving at the COVID-19 and flu assessment clinic at Prince of Wales Hospital on May 12, 2020 in Sydney, Australia. Prince of Wales hospital in the eastern Sydney suburb of Randwick has been operating a COVID-19 and flu assessment clinic since 12 March 2020. Since being set up in response to the global coronavirus pandemic, approximately 7,146 patients have visited the clinic so far (as of 12 May 2020). The COVID-19 clinic operates seven days a week and is staffed by a team of doctors, nurses, admin support workers and a cleaner who have all been seconded from various areas of the hospital as part of the COVID-19 response. Patients are screened for symptoms on arrival, and if they meet the testing criteria their observations are taken and they complete paperwork before being seen by a clinician for a consultation followed by a throat and nose swab to test for COVID-19 if required. While testing in Australia was initially restricted to people who had been in contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case or had severe symptoms, as the country's confirmed infection rate continues to decline and restrictions on social distancing and gatherings begin to ease around the country, Australians with even the mildest symptoms are now being urged to get tested to avoid any coronavirus infection flare ups. In New South Wales nearly 334,000 people have been tested for COVID-19 (as of 13 May 2020), which is one of the highest testing rates in the world.
