Coronavirus: Social distancing must continue says Prof Michael Kidd – Townsville Bulletin

Australians are being put on notice and urged to continue social distancing as Victoria reintroduces restrictions on Wednesday night.
Deputy chief medical officer Michael Kidd has called on people in states with few or zero coronavirus cases to adhere to social distancing and cough and hand hygiene to stop the spread of coronavirus.
“After the stage three restrictions were lifted … many people felt that COVID-19 perhaps was over in Australia and clearly it is not,” he told ABC Breakfast.
“It remains a very serious risk for us all and re-enforces for everybody the importance of the measures.
“We are all on notice.”
Prof Kidd has encouraged people with loved ones in metropolitan Melbourne who will be forced back into isolation for six weeks from midnight on Wednesday to contact them.
He has also encouraged Victorians to download the COVIDSafe app if they hadn’t already.
