June 25, 2020Perfect timing
July 14, 2020AMA (NSW) President, Dr Danielle McMullen, says now is absolutely not the time to be complacent about COVID-19.
“The recent resurgence of coronavirus cases in Victoria has shown just how easily it can slip through gaps in infection control measures.
“A new case, potentially resulting from community transmission, was identified in Sydney today.
“We now also know that a member of a Victorian family that has been holidaying on the NSW South Coast has been identified as having the virus after previously being cleared by Victorian authorities.
“The pandemic isn’t over just because NSW had initial success in containing COVID-19.
“We’re still amongst it and, unfortunately, we don’t know when it will end.
“As the Premier has said, what’s happened in Victoria could happen anywhere in Australia and we still need to be adhering to social distancing rules.
“It’s everyone’s responsibility to help NSW contain the spread of coronavirus and maintain that suppression,” Dr McMullen said.
