Our latest work asks: How many tests for COVID-19 are being performed around the world? OurWorldInData.org/covid-tes… The chart compares the total number of tests performed per million people in a number of countries. Data for *many* more countries you find at the link above.

Good news! New quick test for COVID-19 approved. 15-minute test. 500,000 kits are due to land in Australia this week if all goes well with airfreight space, planes are able to land and they pass border control. A priority! #COVID19Aus
