Rapid tests now reportable in the ACT

Rapid antigen test kits.

PEOPLE who have recorded a positive rapid antigen test (RAT) are now able to notify ACT Health of their result through the ACT COVID-19 website.

A Check In CBR notification will be sent today (December 12) to users, to let them know the reporting form is live.

Chief Minister Andrew Barr says the form will provide more accurate data, will better connect people with care and will help to alleviate the need to wait in long queues at testing centres as RATs become more available.

“This new reporting system will give us a clearer picture about the spread of COVID-19 in the ACT,” he said.

“We are working to secure greater supply of tests for the ACT, including the purchase of one million test kits in partnership with NSW and our own orders.”

The form can be found here.
