Episode description
Regional NSW and Victoria are currently in lockdown as the Delta variant of the Covid virus spreads across rural Australia.
We’re joined by Dr John Hall, President of the Regional Doctors Association of Australia who tells us the challenge is getting personell across borders and into remote communities; and Dubbo Mayor Stephen Lawrence, who says he’s fearful of what the crisis means for remote Indigenous communities.
The next few weeks will be critical. Today on The Briefing, regional Australia’s race against Delta.
