The chief medial officer has said nine out of 10 Australians need to be “doing the right thing” if the threat of coronavirus is to be lessened.
Speaking yesterday, Brendan Murphy said the further restrictions announced by the Prime Minister may be “radical” but they were necessary if promising signs that Australia was flattening the curve are to continue.
This morning, his views were echoed by Health Minister Greg Hunt who said he was “desperately sorry” for the new measures but lives needed to be saved.
