Covid-19: Health funding allows for testing boost

From Morning Report, 8:14 am on 18 March 2020

Doctors will be able to test more people for Covid-19 and keep people safe at their clinics thanks to a boost from the government.

A cash injection of $500 million will mean those who need tests can be tested, and it won't interfere with clinics dealing with everyday medical issues.

The College of GPs president is Doctor Samantha Murton.

She speaks to Susie Ferguson.
