Ngati Ruanui Health Care and Ngaruahine Iwi Health Services in conjunction with Tui Ora and others have worked hard to set up a range of pop up stations in South and central Taranaki to get people in the community tested. Pop up locations have included Hāwera, Manaia and Eltham with one taking place in Stratford this week.
The Stratford clinic will be held at the Whakaahurangi Marae on Celia Street between 10am and 3pm on Thursday, May 7.
Te Aorangi Dillon, chairperson of the Whakaahurangi Marae, says the testing will be done on a first come, first served basis.
She says the marae committee were happy to provide the venue for the testing.
We are supporting the initiative by providing the venue. We believe it is important that the long term survival of our community as a whole is taken seriously. As a whanau we saw the importance of the test as it also justified the measures in place for Level four as well as reiterating the absolute importance that we all stick to the plan for Level three."
Te Aorangi says people should not be be put off by people saying the test isn't pleasant.
"I myself have been tested and all the talk of it being a painful procedure was disproved."
She says testing at the pop-up clinic is open to all, whether people have symptoms or not and she encourages people to go and get tested.
Jaimie Bertie got tested last week and says people should not be scared of it. She describes her experience as being quick and easy.
"You have to blow your nose and cough into your left elbow then rest your head back they take a quick swab and it's done. I had one very clear nostril for a day and that was it."
Jaimie, who owns and operates Hair by Jaimie Bertie in Stratford, says she is pleased she got the test done, especially having since got the negative result back, as she feels reassured by it.
"The week before we went into lockdown I had been in contact with so many people, so I would rather be safe than sorry."
Jaimie says the negative test has given her extra confidence in planning for reopening the doors to her business as soon as she can, which she hopes will be in Level 2."
The TDHB has set up four community-based locations in New Plymouth, Waitara, Hawera and Opunake for Covid-19 testing.
