Govt deploys 800 personnel to assist Vic in COVID-19 fight
Hundreds of personnel will be deployed across Victoria to help in the fight against the coronavirus. Premier Daniel Andrews requested assistance from the Prime Minister on Monday after the state recorded 75 new infections in the past 24 hours. A large portion of the 800 personnel will be directed to community engagement and door knocking in hotspot suburbs, while the remainder will assist at testing sites and with contract tracing. The Andrews government considered reinstating targeted lockdowns but Deputy Chief Medical Officer Professor Michael Kidd said it would be very difficult to implement in a metropolitan city like Melbourne.
