“From our perspective we're not saying you have to use Atomo tests, what we are saying is there really needs to be mature conversation around what's the best combination of testing to manage this rapidly moving pandemic.” Melbourne doctor Peter Lewis has been attempting to persuade the Victorian government of the benefits of antigen tests for more than a month.
The NSW government recently announced that rapid antigen testing will be conducted every day for personnel working in quarantine from January 21,Dr Lewis said he believed the reluctance to embrace antigen testing was the result of "massive lobbying" by the big pathology companies. “More evidence is needed on real-world performance and operational aspects of rapid antigen tests and the RCPA supports the work the government is taking in this area,” he said.
Actually, the major fan of this test appears to be the CEO of the company that makes it. Go figure.
