Read the transcript of Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer Alison McMillan’s press conference on 22 May 2020 about COVID-19. ALISON MCMILLAN: So today, I'm going to start by saying that I can report that we have 6479 people who have now recovered from COVID-19 in Australia, and that's a really, really encouraging number.
I can report that there are 506 active cases of COVID-19 across the country, and that is a number again that we're going to start reporting to produce a very positive message to all Australians about the great achievements we've seen.
I can tell you that in the last 24 hours, there have been 15 new cases reported in Australia. Sadly, also, one additional death.
