Covid-19: Ministry of Health to hire private firm to roll out saliva testing of border workers

STUFF Director General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield says the health ministry will look to private firms to roll out saliva Covid-19 tests at the border. The Ministry of Health plans to ramp up surveillance testing for Covid-19 by hiring a private company to swab the saliva of border workers. Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield on Thursday said the ministry wanted to use saliva tests for asymptomatic surveillance testing of border workers, likely swabbing twice a week on top of the routine use of nasal swabs. Saliva testing for Covid-19 has yet to be substantially adopted in New Zealand, despite its use in countries like Australia and the United States.
