Brad Hazzard says police will 'come hunting' for the person who registered a fake positive COVID test under his name.
The NSW Health Minister says he has been the victim of a fraudulent COVID test report and says those responsible for the "moronic" act will be punished.
The system for self-reporting RATs went live last week and — through the Service NSW app or website — people must register their positive result with details including their mobile number. "You are undermining what the public health team is trying to do here to keep the entire community safe," he said.The Health Minister said police would "come hunting" for anyone who misrepresents information to NSW Health and could issue $5,000 fines.
