If you’re waiting for a PCR test result, please be assured that you will get a result, you will get a message from the lab at some point. It may not be as quick as we would like, but the times are starting to come down and you will get a swift result.
I’m also aware that yesterday, Melbourne Path … made the decision not to process tests older than seven days in the labs. We’ve discussed that with them over the last couple of days and I think that broadly we agree, that there’s a very low utility in processing test results that old. I apologise to people, the 7,000 people who received those Melbourne Path messages that says that they will not be continuing to process their test sample. I would encourage anybody who is still symptomatic in that cohort or still concerned to please come forward and get another PCR or a rapid antigen test and work with us. It is all part of that significant challenge that we had over the Christmas and New Year period with the 300,000 or so travel tests that we had to process and all of the other challenges over that period.
