Andrews govt suspends elective surgeries as state records 384 new cases
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has announced all elective surgeries will be suspended as the state records 384 new cases of coronavirus and six additional deaths. "We will do our level best to honour those booked surgeries, so scheduled surgeries, but that will not run for very long," Mr Andrews said. "Only the most urgent patients will be treated. That is appropriate because that will free up beds and it will free up staff. Staff is the biggest issue. "Elective surgery other than for Category 1 and the most urgent Category 2 patients will be suspended forthwith," he said. Four of the deaths were linked to aged care and 769 active cases are in aged care settings. The new caseload was lower than yesterday's record high of 531 new cases. There are now 4,775 active cases of coronavirus in Victoria. Image: News Corp Australia
