We wrote on 7 December, before this outbreak, to State and Federal ministry about holes in the handling of international travellers and glight crew & how to ameliorate them. It is not the community’s fault.

Screening is different to diagnosis. Accuracy for screening rapid tests differs marginally across test kits approved for Aust use. Passengers & crew screening needs high negative test accuracy & most rapid tests have 98.8%-100% accuracy.

Could be performed. Accuracy differs marginally across test kits approved for Aust use. Because you are looking for certainty that passengers & crew are not infected the test needs to have high negative test accuracy and most rapid tests have 98.8%-100% accuracy.

My colleagues & I wrote an open letter last week calling for rapid testing. The virus doesn’t understand exemption rules. Everyone without exception must have a rapid antigen test for covid on arrival - everyone, no exemptions. thenewdaily.com.au/news/2020…

Perhaps difficult for staff not trained in PPE to continuously comply for 8hour shift esp in lunchroom and risk of spread to colleagues carpooling, smoke break & socialising. Imperative to use rapid antigen testing at end of every shift before going home.
