Footage of the delivery of 1.2 million rapid antigen tests at Sydney Airport was sent to media outlets by the NSW Government.

Another 15 million RATs are expected within the next seven days.

None of these are likely to reach our region. We called local chemists and supermarkets to find out if they had any RATs.

The only places to have them today were Woodenbong Pharmacy and Evans Head IGA.

The State Government is buying another 50 million tests which they said will be delivered through February and into March.
