Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton has revealed that 2 males being dealt with for COVID-19 passed away over night, ending up being the state’s first coronavirus fatalities and bringing the national total to 11.
Bottom line:
- Victoria’s tally of validated coronavirus cases has risen to 520
- Victoria has actually seen a reduction in the variety of brand-new validated cases over the previous 2 days
- Professor Sutton warned Victorians not to be complacent and more cases would be reported “if we don’t stay away from each other”
Teacher Sutton informed radio station 3AW that “tragically” 2 men in their 70 s had actually passed away overnight.
” They’re our very first deaths,” he said.
” But in a sense they’re not unforeseen. We’re now as much as 520 cases, so 2 deaths among 500 is reasonably small looking at the international figures.”
Teacher Sutton stated 54 new cases had actually evaluated positive to the virus in the past day.
The very first Victorian deaths followed Queensland the other day reported a 2nd coronavirus dea
