South Australia has broadened its coronavirus response by launching a two-week"testing blitz" to encourage anyone in the state with symptoms to get checked for COVID-19.Even people with mild symptoms are encouraged to get testedThe State Government is now urging anyone with a cough, a runny nose, cold symptoms or a fever to seek a test.
So far, 38,000 South Australians have been checked, but no positive results were returned in the past 24 hours, with the total number of positive cases in the state remaining at 433. Health authorities today announced a so-called"testing blitz", which SA Premier Steven Marshall said would help to further tackle the coronavirus pandemic.
"Anybody in the community here in South Australia who has got any of the symptoms which lend themselves to coronavirus can go off to one of our 54 rapid testing and assessment clinics in South Australia and be tested," he said."There is really a great opportunity to provide great assurance to the people of South Australia that we're doing everything we possibly can to make sure that we are the safest place.
"We have had, unequivocally, the highest level of testing in Australia and amongst the highest level of testing, per capita, of anywhere in the world."
Where are these 54 rapid testing and assessment clinics? There's less than half that number on the SA health website.
Just round them up into camps.
