Aus' Chief health officer warns that there will be more deaths in Victoria

Chief health officer, Prof Brett Sutton, has warned that there will be more deaths from the current wave of coronavirus cases in Victoria.

When we have 238 cases every day we are looking at 2-3 deaths in a week’s times, so we have to have these numbers decrease.

He said the numbers appear to be stabilising right now, but said there is “no guarantee of a drop off” in case numbers. Whether it happens will depend on how well people are obeying the stay at home orders, he says.
