Suddenly, the Brisbane outbreak looks a lot more worrying
Until yesterday, the outbreak in Brisbane looked small and manageable, but it just shows how fast things can change in a pandemic. Today is the first day greater Brisbane will […]
The extent of the outbreak in Brisbane has become clearer, after authorities revealed that they were dealing with two separate coronavirus clusters.
