Customer Service Minister Victor Dominello says 82,000 people have uploaded positive COVID results to the Service NSW app or website since RAT registrations opened at 9am on Wednesday | daniellamariewh
More than 80,000 additional COVID-19 infections, detected since New Year’s Day, will be added to NSW’s official case numbers after the government mandated the reporting of positive rapid antigen tests.
Customer Service Minister Victor Dominello conceded the penalty would be almost impossible for authorities to enforce and was largely about messaging.The flurry of new cases came after the state government announced that anyone who has tested positive to COVID-19 on a rapid antigen test since January 1 will need to register their result with the state government. From January 19, people who do not upload their positive result will face a $1000 fine.
“We just want to send the message out that this is really important,” he said on Channel Nine on Thursday morning. Mr Dominello said registering results would help connect people who are at higher risk with healthcare and support services.Advertisement
