The Australian government has consulted national security agencies about rapid COVID-19 testing equipment secured by Andrew Forrest’s Minderoo Foundation from Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) and confirmed that BGI will not have access to patient information.
BGI will not set up or operate new labs but commercial arrangements will be made with existing Australian pathology providers who will be trained by Chinese fly-in specialists, health minister Greg Hunt’s spokesperson told The Epoch Times on May 5.
