Read the transcript of the 10 April 2020 press conference given by Professor Paul Kelly, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, about coronavirus (COVID-19). PROFESSOR PAUL KELLY: Okay.
Good afternoon everyone. Paul Kelly here for the daily press conference. And thanks for coming out on a public holiday. The first thing, just an update on the numbers as of this morning.
6,152 Australians have been diagnosed with this virus, with 52 people having passed away due to the virus. We're in a much better place than we were a few weeks ago, even a week ago with the numbers of the increase on a daily basis much less than had previously been the case.
