Can’t understand why this isn’t happening. I was expecting this to start during Vics second wave.

Agree. UK has given out these test for twice weekly home testing and picked up 120,000 cases this way. It also reduced burden of memory for contact tracing questions if tested regularly.

Why won’t #auspoI support #allumecovidtests? We should be using it before walking into a supermarket or pharmacy. An Aussie invention and made in Aus- even if not 100% it would be better than nothing. @EllumeHealth #SydneyOutbreak #SydneyLockdown #IStandWithDan

Weren't these rapid antigen tests relatively inexpensive & can be mass produced & distributed without the hassle & cost of needing health care workers, sample collection, processing etc?

Screening for notifiable diseases has to be done by healthcare staff. Do you do any homework before posting?
