We see similar numbers in Australia. In NSW, we tested 600,000 people in October, with about 230 positives. If we assume that every positive is a false positive, that gives a false positive rate of 0.04%

But we actually retest most people in NSW, because a positive test has serious consequences for businesses here. And in those 230 tests, only one was a false positive on the second test. So the actual false positive rate is closer to one in a million, or 0.0001%
