The former VIP lounge of the Xewkija heliport has been converted into a Covid-19 testing hub, the first for Gozo and should start operating on Thursday.
Minister for Gozo Clint Camilleri, said that the work had been completed within 72-hours as promised, meaning that the public will no longer have to travel to Malta for the test.
The Minister thanked everyone that had made it possible, including the workers, Primary Health Care and Minister for Health Dr Chris Fearne.
The Ministry for Gozo holds the health of all Gozitan residents as a priority in these delicate and difficult time, said the Minister.
The hub will be open 7-days a week between 8am and 2pm. Anyone experiencing symptoms should ring 111 and not go voluntarily to the hub at Xewkija as it will accept people by appointment only.
The Government has stressed that when attending the testing hub, people should not use public transport or a taxi, or walk.
Is there any contact number for the Xewkija Hub please? Quite urgent. I called 111 and Gozo General Hospital and both of them didn’t have a contact number to give me
