“I suspect patients aren’t self-reporting because they don’t realise the importance for public health and potential treatment. Most are probably still self-isolating,” Keighley told AAP.
She said Australia’s current infection numbers meant it was not necessary to routinely ask patients to confirm antigen tests with a PCR test.But she said a PCR test was helpful to distinguish if the patient also suffered from concurrent influenza - which could be tested for on the same PCR. “I urge Australians to report all positive rapid antigen tests to their state health department,” she said.
“When you are unwell, reporting your positive test may not seem like a priority, but it is so important to take the time to do so. It informs us of the public’s resistance to the virus and allows us to take steps to reduce its effect on patients.”
