More than 3000 people had been screened at the clinic by the time it closed for the night on Thursday.

Despite the huge increase in testing, not a single test done at the clinic had revealed a confirmed case of the infection, as at the latest update from health authorities.

The clinic shut at 4pm on Friday, after opening on April 27 and being extended twice by Hunter New England Health (HNEH).
