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.

Community members urged to 'wake up' and help promote safety for students in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA - Senseless violence in the City of Philadelphia has many on edge. This is especially the case after a 12-year-old girl was shot in a drive-by shooting in North Philadelphia on Tuesday while walking home from school with her younger brother. So far, police have not made any arrests and no suspects have been announced. The school district said it is in constant contact with police and will continue to work towards its Safe Path Program, but with more than 200 schools in the district, they need support and help from the community. FOX 29 spoke to Jose Ortiz, a parent who now walks his son home from the Feltonville School of Arts and Science. RELATED: 'Stay on the line': Philadelphia Police Commissioner responds to concern of long 911 wait timesOrtiz's son was absent on the day of the shooting, but that would have been the typical route he took on his commute home. "It's crazy because he missed that day that it happened and he walks actually through that same light it happened at," Ortiz said. "Yesterday, he was kind of scared to walk home by himself, so I came and picked him up." The safety of local children walking to and from school has become a growing concern. Chief Keven Bethel, a Special Advisor on School Safety for the School District of Philadelphia, appeared on Good Day Philadelphia.
