Dear NSW Ministry of Health,

With the current in service PCR tests being used to detect COVID-19. I believe they have been used to unknowingly collect DNA samples from citizens in this state, country and the world under the guise of a test. As we have seen in the UK with reports of 3rd parties acquiring the DNA of citizens from this test, I would like to know whether the NSW government has any intention of storing its citizens DNA on a database, why they want to do this, if they will sell it off or share this information to 3rd parties and if they have in fact used these tests to collect, store and sell off DNA samples.

Yours faithfully,

Christopher Thanos
