Ann: TGA registration of SARS-CoV-2 detection kit, page-31

Australian Clinical Labs (ACL) - one of the top 3 private pathology provider in Australia - now operates ~ 20 COVID-19 collection centres across Australia. Some of these are conveniently drive-through centres, with excellent feedback from patients and doctors who use / refer to them.

Australian Clinical Labs uses GSS kits, for COVID-19 PCR, as well as general respiratory virus PCR.

Each COVID-19 PCR test is usually accompanied by a general respiratory virus PCR test. Quality of both these tests are excellent. The turn around time to getting results (including courier and reporting times) is between 24-48 hours. Seriously impressive.

The opening of the ACL COVID collection centres have been timed to perfection. Opened since the start of last week. Timed perfectly to the governement's directive to broaden testing in every state.

Next to follow is to "eliminate" COVID-19. This will require a further ramp-up in PCR testing to even asymptomatic individuals. Possibly every Australian, if there's enough funds and available test kits. Otherwise more like just public facing Australians (eg. workers in healthcare and supermarkets, etc).

Ultimately, in the next few months, millions of PCR tests will be required in Australia alone. Around the world of course the demand for test kits would be almost infinite.
