We send our deepest condolences to the families and communities involved - and we will be working with them to give them the support and guidance they need over the coming days.
We know COVID-19 symptoms can rapidly worsen. If this is happening to you (or someone you know or live with) and help is required, please seek medical care. If it's an emergency, call Triple Zero.
