Do we have enough tests?There are already signs supply of these tests could be a problem.The biggest Australian manufacturer of rapid antigen tests has a large government supply contract with the United States, where supply of such tests cannot keep pace with demand.India has also recently acted to restrict export of rapid antigen tests. There are indications the federal government has supplies for distribution to aged-care facilities and local government areas as needed. However, the extent of the stockpile – and whether tests might be released from the stockpile for home use – is unknown.
