Hunter New England Health said late on Monday evening that the clinic would be providing testing for 800 university students "who have recently been impacted by the COVID-19 exposure in the campus student accommodation".
"We have taken these measures as a precaution to ensure the safety of the students given it is a high risk site," HNEH said in a post on Facebook.
"The clinic will open again to the public on Wednesday, August 11, and we appreciate your understanding and patience during this time. We also thank our partners at NSW Health Pathology for their assistance."
