MASKS: Univ of NSW epidemiologist, Mary-Louise McLaws, recommends the use of masks until C19 cases fall to single digits. Prof Sutton conceded that not wearing a mask would be risky & hinted he is considering tougher restrictions for hotspot areas. smh.com.au/national/masks-pa…

“I don't think we've seen any success to control within these facilities, even with nurses and doctors being employed to look after cases. These facilities aren't built for infections, they are built as a home... not proxy hospitals.” @MarylouiseMcla1 Epidemiologist @UNSW #abc730
