Dr Lucas De Toca, COVID-19 Primary Care Response First Assistant Secretary, answers the Top Three questions across our channels.

Hello. My name is Dr Lucas De Toca, and I work for the Department of Health. I'm speaking today from Ngunnawal country, on Ngunnawal Dhawura, so I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this land and any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewer with us here today.Today is all about winter preparedness.
