Australia's deputy chief medical officer says authorities will soon announce recent overseas travel will no longer be a requirement to be tested for COVID-19.

The guidelines for testing for COVID-19 will be changed this week to drop the overseas travel component, as the coronavirus spreads.

He defended the initial guidelines now that people not showing symptoms were spreading the virus, as more than half of the 1709 cases in Australia directly came from an overseas traveller.
