Te Manu Toroa POP-UP was not open for covid testing at 10.15 this morning. There were a fair few cars waiting to be tested and nobody showed up. So with covid in tauranga there was only 2 places to get tested. Appalling for a big place like Tauranga. Some of us had to have it today. Not yesterday and not tomorrow.
