Top doctor confident Victoria's COVID-19 wave set to turn a corner

Deputy Chief Health Officer Dr Nick Coatsworth remains confident Victoria's COVID-19 curve is set to flatten within days, despite persistently high rates of new infections.

Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Nick Coatsworth said he remains confident Victoria's case numbers will come down in the coming days. "Whilst they are not coming down as quick as we would like, the explanation for that is that when the disease is embedded within the community, when there are more chains of transmission, it is going to take longer for those restrictions to take effect."

This isnt right! ... young divorced mum forced under regulation to travel once a fortnight from country VIC to Mill Park to drop a 5 year off Family Law rules then pick her up two days later!! Risk to LIFE, spreading Covid to country VIC !! Where is the sense in this?

Nick can you please just say what you are actually thinking...that you can't believe San and his team were so stupid and that when the health Ministers meet nobody can believe how unintelligent Jenny is. JennyMikakos

Just in time for the criminally incompetent and corrupt DanielAndrewsMP to cock it up again.

Hang on... this is actually positive news... what are you doing reporting this type of stuff, you have no business doing that. Quick, fire that journo.

Is this being supportive of Victoria and not being critical of their mistakes, or is this fact. With people refusing to understand the need for masks and too stupid to understand the difference between State and Federal govts, and the AusLawReform commssion,

Dan's circle of crooks...
