Read the transcript of Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer Alison McMillan speaking on Sky News on 24 May 2020 about coronavirus (COVID-19).
I am pleased to be able to say this afternoon that there are only 4 new cases of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours. This is certainly an enormous achievement by all Australians that we have seen the suppression to this extent and is very encouraging of these continued low numbers.
We are pleased to announce that more than 6,500 people across Australia have recovered from COVID-19 and again this is extremely encouraging.
Sadly, 102 people have died and for that I express my condolences to all of those who’ve lost loved ones. We have 33 people who remain in hospital and 5 of those in intensive care.
