Cars lined the streets waiting for COVID testing at the pop-up clinic in Gladstone St, Warragul on Sunday.
More than 1500 people have been tested for COVID over the past four days in a Warragul testing blitz of holidaymakers returning from New South Wales.
Two testing sites in Warragul have been inundated since Friday after Victorian-New South Wales border closures forced many holidaymakers to pack up and head home.
Many escaped the 14-day isolation requirements by returning before midnight on Thursday night but everyone re-entering Victoria from NSW that day was required to be COVID tested and isolate until receiving results.
Cars queued for hours on the weekend as the West Gippsland Healthcare Group opened a pop-up drive-thru clinic at its Gladstone St premises.
At peak times, cars lined Gladstone St, along Queen St and north along Mason St with the wait time topping two hours for some people.
During the first three days, the pop-up clinic tested 789 people while the Warragul Respiratory Clinic tested 476.
More than 210 people were tested at the two sites again yesterday.
