Adoni Media Managing Director Leisa Goddard says “it’s great to see NSW taking the lead” on a mass testing initiative which may help the state to gauge the number of undiagnosed cases which exist. The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting “NSW Health is preparing to widen COVID-19 testing across the state for anyone with even the mildest symptoms as the head of a major pathology lab predicts every Sydneysider will inevitably be tested before the pandemic abates”.
Ms Goddard said a report from the British Medical Journal concluded “78 per cent of people have COVID-19 with no symptoms”.
“If you're talking about the importance of herd immunity we don’t know what that true figure is because we haven’t yet been able to do that mass testing”.
Sky News host Peter Gleeson said this was a “sensible policy” which would provide people with “peace of mind”.
