About 875 people are expected be tested over the next two weekends as part of a collaboration between the Telethon Kids Institute and Curtin University.
Belmont, Bassendean, Claremont and Melville are among the suburbs health workers will visit as part of the testing blitz, the Western Australian government confirmed.
The process will take about 30 minutes and involve taking saliva samples from voluntary participants and processing them using a new technology called LAMP.
The technology - which stands for Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification - can process test samples in bulk but has not yet been approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
LAMP tests can be used for 'screening purposes' only and those who test positive will need to get an official PCR test to confirm their result.
The announcement of the new testing plan, which is designed to pick up the level of undetected Covid in the community, drew a mixed reaction from the state's residents, some of whom said they wouldn't even open their door to the testing teams.
'Not coming on my property,' one wrote on social media.
'Not interested - it's invading our privacy,' another said, while one WA resident questioned whether health workers had the authority to go knocking door to door.

Don’t answer the door.
Is this the out of control tyrant who needs to be dragged ou to fhis office and re-assigned to the frenchfry machine at the nearest McDonalds?
Nice little super spreader. His little army will leave behind a bunch of infected people.
Penal colony. Democommies should be immigrating in droves.
Comrade Biden sent people door to door at one point. Didn’t go over well as I recall.

If they were a penile colony they’d man up and...
Australia’s entering The Twilight Zone. I’m trying to think of which episode this most resembles.
That was just to advise about the vax. These people are testing.
I just can’t understand who the heck they think they are to infringe on others like this. Do they feel like the tyrants that they are?
I wonder if any other testers will go missing? Alex suggested it.
meanwhile, across the pond in equally covid mad New Zealand, there will be no questions about the latest athlete to collapse:
19 March: Daiji World: Shamilia Connell stable, discharged from hospital, confirms Cricket West Indies
St John’s (Antigua), Mar 19 (IANS): West Indies fast bowler Shamilia Connell, who collapsed on the field during their Women’s ODI World Cup match against Bangladesh at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, in New Zealand, on Friday, is safe and has been discharged from the hospital, the Cricket West Indies (CWI) has confirmed.
Connell was bowling the 47th over of the game with Bangladesh needing 13 off 19 balls with only one wicket of Bangladesh remaining when the incident took place. She was immediately surrounded by concerned teammates with medical staff rushing to the field to attend to her.
The medical staff ferried the pacer out of the ground as play came to a halt for a while. Connell, who had bowling figures of none for 15 in three overs, was later taken to hospital even as West Indies completed a thrilling four-run win in the league game.
“Yes she was taken as a precaution to hospital but has been discharged. We will update the media officially in the morning once we have an update from the Team Physio and our CMO,” Cricket West Indies CEO Johnny Grave told Cricbuzz on Friday evening (IST)...

They are from the same group of power drunk tyrants in our country that demanded people get vaccinated or lose their jobs- and demand that people show their vax cards to shop
They are still part of NATO.
Supposedly China is preparing to invade them.
I wonder if Taiwan is to be first.
It’s a plague.
One person died.
Tyranny to a New Level!
Since testing has proven to have a high % of false positives, what then Mr. Tyrant McNammara?
It’s voluntary?
Wow. The Aussie “leaders” seem to get crazy hot on tyranny.
Hey, Aussies. Time for your “leaders” to go, don’tcha think?
9. The episode where aliens steal a whole neighborhood from earth and use them as a test as to whether they will Serve their captors or unite against them, which they did by having everyone get an alien disease which will literally destroy them.
This sacrifice saves earth from further alien attempts to colonize the planet.
