Read the transcript of the 4 April 2020 press conference given by Professor Paul Kelly, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, about coronavirus (COVID-19).

Paul Kelly the Deputy Chief Medical Officer here to give the daily update for the COVID-19 issues. I just want to give a couple of points, first of all, and then we will have some questions.

The first thing I want to say is about the data of the day, so 5,544 cases so far in Australia, and unfortunately 30 deaths.
