Scrapping the mandatory reporting of positive COVID-19 rapid antigen tests will make it harder for the public health system to deal with future outbreaks, the AMA has warned. 

Both NSW and Victoria have ditched their reporting requirements, as all states and territories put an end to mandatory isolation laws on Friday.
