Define their role and how to use them and then let’s get them out there!

Yep. Living in London. I felt crook this morning so took a test. Came back negative, so I'm heading off to work safe in the knowledge I might share a head cold with my colleagues, but not #Covid_19.

Why can’t we expedite approval for use and get kids back to school

Nothing happens rapidly in NSW, they will have to rename them Slow-to-come antigen tests (SCATs).

Thank you. That could avoid a lot of conflict

I think it will be important to prepare education/instruction videos for this test in MULTIFUL LANGUAGES to be widely used in public, preventing misuse/misunderstanding.

I wish the TGA wasn't holding us back to do this on a rapid scale
