Australia’s federal health minister Greg Hunt announced on July 13 that it will be mandatory for aged care workers in locked down zones to wear surgical face masks, concerned by the outbreaks of the CCP virus.
Speaking on Nine’s Today Show on July 15, Hunt said, “I think if we are honest, there will be more lives lost, and there will be people admitted to ICU and more on ventilation.”
