New South Wales is braced to shatter Australian COVID-19 case records after almost 60,000 positive rapid antigen test results were registered online as of yesterday evening.
The online registration through the Service NSW app opened at 9am yesterday, with everybody who has recorded a positive result since January 1 required to upload it to the database.
Those who don't will receive a $1000 fine, with a grace period for uploads extending to January 19.

Premier Dominic Perrottet said yesterday while the mandate "is harder to enforce", optional reporting would "discourage" people from registering it.
He said he expected NSW residents to do the right thing and upload their results.
People with the app can also add in test results for their dependents, as with the QR check-in.

"For those people that don't have a Service NSW app, you can also go to the Service NSW website, and access the form there," Customer Services Minister Victor Dominello said.
"Alternatively, you can go and call Service NSW and they will provide assistance."
NSW recorded its deadliest day of the pandemic yesterday, with 21 deaths linked to the virus.
Seven of those were historical and were only reported yesterday after confirmation from the coroner.
