"PCR test"

I went to the Meekatharra hospital to get a PCR test. I called the number to be seen once I was in the outside waiting room. I explained my symptoms and that I am a close contact. I was told I have COVID and go home to take a rat. I explained that they came back negative but had symptoms, people in my household are positive for COVID. The nurse said they would not do a test and I had to complete a rat at home and that the rat will be positive in a few days.

I feel that this is neglectful care.

I called the COVID hotline who said I needed a PCR test and that they cannot deny me care. 

In my opinion, the actions of the Meekatharra Hospital staff are not ok, I needed to know if I have it or not so I can go back to work.

There is no where else within a few hundred kilometres that it seems I am able to receive any care.
