One in two people who have coronavirus might not have any symptoms ? Is this why Covid is spreading rapidly throughout western Sydney ? there is incompetence at the highest levels! Why is testing being increased?
It's hoped the rapid tests - known as lateral flow tests - can help stop individual cases from becoming outbreaks, now that social distancing limits have been lifted in England, Scotland and Wales.
Estimates vary, but it's thought as many as one in two people who have coronavirus might not have any symptoms, despite being infectious.
Some businesses and venues are also asking customers to test before using their services.
From 16 August:
Fully vaccinated close contacts of those who test positive for Covid do not need to self-isolate if they test negative. People are advised to take additional PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) tests on day two and eight of the process.
