The ACT relies on just three testing centres, which have been quickly overwhelmed as the territory enters a five-day lockdown

Those already in the queue were assured they would be tested and not turned away. That was not the experience of many, including Canberran Tamara Zacharias, who drove to the testing site at Exhibition Park, in the industrial suburb of Mitchell, after experiencing symptoms.

Are autistic people immune from covid then ? Autism doesn't make someone immune from catching Covid, and transmitting it to a vulnerable person. Probably also has an increased risk of being infected... Criticise the parents for subjecting him to the experience by taking him to Spain! They said 'sorry' so that's OK then!!!
