GPs could face fines up to $20,000 for improper use of coronavirus serology tests after at least two states have prohibited their use for diagnostic purposes.

Minister for Health Greg Hunt announced last month that the Federal Government had secured 1.5 million of the point-of-care tests to be used in general practices in the fight against COVID-19.
