The Victorian Labor Government has expanded the twice-weekly rapid antigen testing to children aged 3 to 5 at childcare centres as news comes of possible ceasing RATs after the first four weeks of the school term.

The Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews announced that more than 1.6 million RATs will be delivered to childhood settings in the coming weeks for voluntary twice-weekly testing. Sessional kindergartens will receive their deliveries in the next two weeks, followed by long daycare, family daycare and occasional care.
