@normanswan @siobhan__taylor @RichardEGrant A good quality COVID-19 rapid antigen test should pick up more than 90% of cases, within 5 to 7 days of symptoms. I agree with Norman, it would be best to test over several days, to pick up all positive cases. These tests might be effective in screening asymptomatic individuals.

A very worrying trend in the COVID-19 pandemic is the precipitous drop in people attending to non-COVID healthcare issues. This is especially prevalent amongst older Australians. This #COVIDeocast look at the testing for COVID-19
