Subscriber only ONE Glen Aplin man s firefighter training turned out to be a lifesaver after he was bitten by a deadly snake this afternoon. 18-year-old Lochlan Postema was working at his contracting job on a Newman Ln private property when he looked down and got the scare of his life. Spying the head of a brown snake on his lower leg before Mr Postema could step back, the snake lunged for the young man. It just felt like a little needle pinch and from there, my leg s gone numb, Mr Postema said. After the bite happened, the pain was intense.
In response, DDHS will continue to reinstall testing sites across the region.
“COVID-19 testing has been, and continues to be, available at any of our hospital emergency departments, and at our Charlton BP Truckstop drive-through testing site, open 8.30am to 4pm seven days a week,” the spokeswoman said.
“We have also re-established our Baillie Henderson Hospital pop-up drive-through testing site, which will be open from 8.30am to 4pm until Monday, 11 January.”
In Warwick, an additional Locke St drive-through site was opened earlier this week as was one in front of the Stanthorpe Hospital in response to positive wastewater fragments.
At the time of reporting, there had been no further information revealed about where the positive wastewater fragment originated from.
