We've already tested more than 100,000 Victorians over the past three months.
Now we want to double that number – in just under two weeks.
As you know, testing for any sort of disease or virus can be tricky.
By the time someone feels sick and gets tested, they've often passed it on to other people – which then requires more tracing and testing…and so on.
We know that physical distancing has slowed the spread – so instead of someone with coronavirus having close contact with 20 or 30 people, it might only be one or two.
But we still don't know what we don't know – including how many people with very mild symptoms have brushed this off as a cold.
And we need your help to do that.
We'll be setting up drive-through clinics in shopping centre carparks.
Bringing mobile screening clinics to people's workplaces and homes.
We've asked a lot of Victorians.
We've asked you to stay home and save lives – & you've all done an incredibly good job.
Now we need everyone to play their part again.
Do it for the people you love and those you've never met.
Do it for the Victorians working so hard to keep us all safe.
Because the more people we have onboard – the better.
For all of us.
