Coronavirus updates LIVE: $1.3 billion to fund 4000 new ICU beds, as Victoria records increase in COVID-19 cases and Australian death toll hits 20Victoria now has 968 confirmed cases of COVID-19, an increase of 51 overnight, and the state government will invest an extra $1.3b in the health system, Premier Daniel Andrews has announced. Maybe this money can employ the excess amount of admin staff who like me have to do casual work in another field Great result to only have an increase of 5.5%. Early stages we were doubling every 3 days or 33% increase. This is fantastic and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see even better results in the next few days once we see the effects of stay at home measures.
