Greg Hunt has told everyone with flu-like symptoms to go get tested for #coronavirus. GP friend told me he hasn’t been advised of any communication to front line medical services advising of processes to safely manage this influx of thousands of people 😳

Hunt added ‘if in doubt, get tested’. So that will include anyone with hayfever, sinusitis, a dry throat and a head cold. I don’t feel like he’s thought this through.
Checked a few State health department websites and not one is sharing the same advice as Hunt - to go test regardless of not having contact or travelling to known hot spot. He’s out on his own!

If you are sick and need to see a doctor - you might be injured, have an infection, a chronic illness, depression, a script refilled, a doctors’ certificate to miss work etc etc etc - good luck getting an appointment for the next few months! Great work Greg Hunt! Incompetent.
