Aus response to containing coronavirus is a ‘very successful one’

The National Critical Care and Trauma Response Centre's Professor Len Notaras says Australia's efforts to contain the coronavirus COVID-19 have been "a success". A group of 250 Australians rescued from Wuhan have been released from the Darwin quarantine centre just as authorities have confirmed seven passengers who were on board the Diamond Princess cruise ship tested positive for coronavirus. Mr Notaras told Sky News “the operation thus far dealing with more than 700 people has been a very successful one” but said Australia was still in no position to relax its vigilance. He said they would continue to treat those in quarantine as "suspicious until shown otherwise". Mr Notaras said the AUSMAT operation was so far "a fantastic triumph for health in the country.” Image: Getty
