As the #coronavirus toll continues to rise, Australians are adjusting to a ‘new normal’ of #socialdistancing, #selfisolation and #quarantine, with all the complexities that entails. #abc730 @michaelatkin #COVID19Aus
Peter Philips is #selfisolating because he has #coronavirus. “I am living in the roof space in my daughter’s bedroom and my wife is mostly occupying the lower ground floor where the study is. And she sleeps in our bedroom, which is still one floor below where I am.” #abc730
Peter communicates with his wife Jane, who does not have #coronavirus, through an intercom, and scrubs and wears protective mask and gloves when he does go downstairs. #abc730 #COVID19Aus
.@SVHSydney tested about 2000 people for #coronavirus last week. “We know that there's going to be a lot more cases coming through and very severe cases over the coming weeks, but we're preparing for a range of circumstances.” - Prof Gregory Dore #abc730 #COVID19Aus
Opera singer Pascal Herington is one of the younger Australians who have contracted #coronavirus overseas. He is now in #quarantine in Germany. #abc730 #COVID19Aus
Pascal Herington fainted during a rehearsal. “I tried to stand up and my eyes rolled into the back of my head and I passed out and went to hospital.” #abc730 #COVID19Aus #coronavirus
“It's possible for it to be very deadly. And so everybody I think needs to just be responsible and do the right thing and stay away.” - Peter Phillips, #coronavirus patient. #abc730 #COVID19Aus #socialdistancing #selfisolation
