Federal Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy, while warning about the potential for a second wave of the CCP virus, has said that the recent mass protests in Australia set a bad example that may have prompted others in the community to ignore social distancing restrictions as well.
Answering questions at a press conference on June 22, Murphy indicated this may have contributed to the 120 news cases in Victoria reported in the last 7 days that have led to increased restrictions at a time when the state was due to ease them.
