Essential workers such as tradies, supermarket employees and students returning to schools may have to undertake a rapid COVID-19 test to prove they don't have the virus before going to work.

Federal and state governments have come under pressure to introduce rapid testing where results are delivered within minutes of being swabbed.

There are calls for rapid testing to be implemented in businesses across the country. Picture: Ezra Acayan/Getty Images "We should deploy rapid antigen tests to get people back to work on construction sites ... before they actually get to work, audited, not at home, but audited," he told the ABC. But he said it depended on"the probability that a population or community or person has the disease".

“The issue is where the epidemic is in your particular location and what the best value tests are and at the moment, for diagnosis, PCR tests are tried and proven.

Let’s hope it works better than AstraZeneca 😎

Good luck 🤣

These tests kits are very cheap compared to the swab nasal tests the government and its friends have been using this far. Rivers of gold.

Crackdown on online COVID-19 misinformationSocial media companies have been clamping down in Australia on misinformation spread about COVID-19 vaccines, treatments and the virus. 9News That's great now the msm need to ensure they are reporting the facts and not some BS they have invented. I'm surprised they have not faced legal action over the rubbish they spread regarding the AZ vaccine I have yet to see any result that proves this to be so. So the censorship is going to be even more extreme, even more widespread. Alas, freedom of ideas and opinions and judgment…you were lovely but people didn’t care about you anymore and you’re gone.
