Confusion is evident at Covid testing sites, with some people who were told to get tested by Healthline being turned away from the queue by officials. Some are waiting for several hours before being turned away. Erihe said health workers told her she would have been tested if she had been at those premises within half an hour of the Covid positive case. Having been caught out yesterday with no food or water, Erihe had packed plenty of supplies and games only to be turned away. Shar Menary, along with her grandmother, mum and nephew were turned away after being told they didn't have proof they were at the same stores as the Covid positive women.
