I’m in Sydney Australia. Last Wednesday I woke with a sore throat and stuffy head. I drive a public bus and was concerned that I may have picked the virus up, and may be spreading it. In the evening that night I went to the local hospital emergency. They had an area specifically for covid testing. With 30 minutes I was tested, and told I needed to have 5 days off work. If the test was negative the government would pay for the sick time. If I was positive my company’s normal sick leave would need to cover it. I was negative and back at work, no cost to me.
