way back on April 1st-Australia leads the world in testing [View all]
It's not the heat.
It has been an extraordinary, mammoth testing effort and that has put Australia on top when it comes to ensuring we have the best information on tracking this virus.'
Mr Hunt said contact tracing and Australians engaging in social distancing and self-isolation were also contributing to the fight.
Australia's testing regime is well ahead of other countries such as the United States where 216,533 confirmed cases have been recorded and 5,139 deaths.
