COVID testing at Ipswich Hospital appears to have experienced a dramatic decline in numbers amid the first full day of lockdown.
While patients reportedly faced lengthy queues at the Chelmsford Ave clinic just days ago, scenes proved vastly different come Saturday.
A woman, who wished to remain anonymous, told the Queensland Times she had been in and out of the testing clinic within ten minutes.
“There was absolutely no line at all. I walked straight in and registered my details with the nurse,” she said.
“It was a really quick process, surprisingly.
“I expected to be waiting in line for at least half an hour.”
