MAFS star shares tip he claims gets Covid PCR results quicker than the text

As Covid-19 testing lines snake around streets, one former Married At First Sight contestant has revealed a trick he claims will cut down the amount of time you have to wait for your results.

Crane operator Cameron Dunne, who appeared on the 2021 season of the controversial reality show, took to his Instagram account to let his 73,000 followers in on the secret.

“A tip for anyone waiting on PCR results. If you go to your myGov account, click on the Covid-19 dashboard and scroll down to Recent Covid-19 tests.

“Your results are often there 12-24 hours before you get a text,” he wrote online.

Yesterday, national cabinet agreed on several changes to COVID-19 testing requirements, as rapid tests remain in short supply and PCR testing sites face huge demand.

People who return a positive COVID result from a rapid antigen test will no longer need to have their infection confirmed with a PCR test.

Testing sites will also begin transitioning to rapid tests to ease the pressure on pathology labs.

Cameron Dunne found himself making headlines during the 2021 season of MAFS.

While he was initially coupled up with Samantha Harvey, he ended up in a love triangle with another bride, Coco Stedman.

Speaking to TV Week about his time on the show, Cameron, who moved to Queensland after filming, said he saw the show’s counsellor and psychologist to deal with the trolling.

"It's not easy to go through," he said.

“Whether you're portrayed as good or bad, you're always going to have people who hate on you."
