A cheap 15 minute finger prick Covid test could be rolled out in Australian airports and hotels by September, giving millions the chance to return to overseas holidays.
New Zealand medical company Orbis Diagnostics and French augmented reality firm IDEMIA said they were in talks with Australian health ministers.
The test can tell whether someone is able to fight coronavirus because they have been vaccinated or have built up antibodies from a previous infection.
But some scientists fear such tests, already deployed in the UK and across Europe, give out false positive results.
