A husband has shared a photo of his wife's tanned arm for a very special reason. 

The man said he wanted to give recognition to the hardworking individuals who look after testing clinics across Australia, helping keep up the fight against coronavirus.   

He said his wife gained the tan having worked as a Covid-19 drive-thru test clinic coordinator in Sydney since the pandemic was declared in March.   

'Her arm has tanned so much from sun exposure where the PPE she wears doesn't cover,' the man wrote on a post shared to Reddit alongside the photo.

He said he was 'very proud of his wife' who often works overtime on weekends to help stamp out cases of community transmission of coronavirus.    

He noted his wife has not been to the beach once since March.   

'I wanted to post this because whenever I watch the daily Covid updates from various premiers they always thank the contract tracers and people waiting in lines for hours to get tested,' the man wrote.

'But the people who run these clinics get the shortest end of the stick because they don't get to sit down or chill in an air conditioned space while they work.'
