BEN FORDHAM: Dr Nick Coatsworth is the Deputy Chief Medical Officer of Australia, he's on the line. G’day, Doc.NICK COATSWORTH: G’day, Ben.BEN FORDHAM: How concerned are you about the fresh outbreak in Victoria?NICK COATSWORTH: Well Ben, we're all concerned about the outbreak.
Just keeping in mind that whilst the numbers are higher in the last five days - as you said 100 cases in Victoria in the past five days - that remains still a small number compared to the population of Victoria, you know.
There's over 6 million- 6.4 million people down there, we're talking about 19 new cases in the past 24 hours - and they are confined to four or five different outbreaks which, as you say, do seem to be centred around household groups of people.
