Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison reassured the Australian public in a national address late Thursday, saying that the government is well prepared to tackle the coronavirus outbreak.
“I want to assure you and your family tonight that while Australia cannot and is not immune from this virus, we are well-prepared and we are well-equipped to deal with it and we do have a clear plan to see Australia through,” Morrison said in a televised address at 7 p.m. AEDT—the first prime minister to do so since Julia Gillard laid out her government’s climate plan in 2011.
