Richard Riordan MP - Vic Covid Outbreak an “unmitigated disaster”

Infected Victorians are waiting up to nine days to get their COVID-19 test results back with the delays hurting the staffing of local businesses and further risking the spread of the virus. Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell said Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews needed to explain why tests were being delayed after the state recorded another 532 cases of COVID-19 and six more deaths. “In New South Wales, where they have been doing 10,000-plus tests a day and up to 30,000 on occasion a day, the average wait for test results, I am reliably told, is 24 hours,” Mr Clennell said.
