was listening in to Australian Medical Association president Tony Bartone on ABC Radio Melbourne this morning. Here's Kathy with a quick summary of what he had to say:
Tony Bartone is calling for a "sensible and necessary pause" in the relaxation of coronavirus restrictions because of the "concerning" situation in Melbourne. He said we always knew that localised outbreaks were a possibility and that the would have to be dealt with immediately. "What we've seen in a national sense is a very rapid and significant lifting of the measures," he said.He said the current spike we're seeing in Victoria could've happened anywhere and may yet happen again, because the virus is still present in the community and will be until we get a vaccine.
"That means we can't be complacent, we need to be vigilant and we need to keep practising all those measures which have kept us in [good] stead during the first par to the wave," he said.
Wouldn’t nurses be more helpful
Coffee ? Tea ? Me ?
its good 'outside the square' thinking from VictorianGovt to hire staff well trained in courteous, disciplined safety protocols
For all of these 'new staff' to be recruited, exactly how many 'overseas visa holders' will be entering victoria and Australia?
hope they dont keep pointing out the exits as the people may escape quarantine
Are they moonlighting? Still working at airlines
