Read the transcript of the press conference given by Deputy Chief Medical Officer Professor Paul Kelly about coronavirus (COVID-19) on 27 May 2020. PROFESSOR PAUL KELLY: I’m Paul Kelly, Deputy Chief Medical Officer here to talk about COVID-19.
Just to start with the latest data. We have now 7,139 cases that have been diagnosed in Australia so that means 11 new cases in the last 24 hours.
We’ve had 1 more death as well, in Queensland, and that makes 103 people that have died of this disease so far. The good news is that there is now less than 500 cases that are active in Australia, so people that are still sick with this disease.
