Australia has recorded 12 million COVID tests and we’re the envy of the world
At some point this week, Australia will perform its 12 millionth COVID-19 test. The equivalent of nearly half the population will have been tested since January 2020 — it is an incredible feat.
Australia’s current position of having effectively suppressed the virus to intermittent outbreaks owes much to the year-long dedication and ingenuity of 35,000 pathologists, medical scientists, lab technicians, couriers, phlebotomists and ancillary personnel, who’ve worked tirelessly every day to keep us safe.
And while we’re looking to the Northern Hemisphere for a COVID-19 vaccine, the world is looking at us for the best ways to perform pathology testing.
