Morrison used the speech to outline the government’s response to the virus.

Australia has one of the highest testing rates per capita in the globe, he has repeatedly said.

Only Singapore and South Korea have higher rates of testing.

“Australians should be proud, very proud, that we are one of the most comprehensive testing regimes in the world, one of the highest rates of testing in the world,” he said.

“Today, some 330,000 tests for the virus has been conducted around Australia.”

He said that number has more than doubled since the last time Parliament sat, over a fortnight ago.
