Coronavirus testing in Victoria has been expanded. So do you need a test?
ABCThe Victorian Government has expanded its coronavirus testing program to become the widest in the country. But Victoria's Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton says the time has come to broaden the criteria to root out coronavirus cases of unknown origin. Health Minister Jenny Mikakos says anyone with a fever or chills, any respiratory symptoms including a cough, sore throat, difficulty breathing and any other respiratory illness, will qualify for a test from today. Frontline essential workers including people working in child care, health care, aged care, police officers and teachers, can also be tested if they develop symptoms.
