A fiery clash has erupted between ministers after Victoria's chief health officer was accused of giving “bulls**t” advice on playing golf in lockdown.
Millions of respirator and surgical masks needed to help stop the spread of COVID-19 will be produced at Australia’s first face mask testing facilities established in Adelaide.
The equipment will be tested at Flinders University and the University of South Australia laboratories and will begin production in May. Innovation and Skills Minister David Pisoni said as China produced most of the global supply of face masks, science, research and collaboration have never been more important.“With this new testing facility, we will be able to deliver this medical equipment to hospitals within weeks, substantially faster than previously.”
