"I want to reassure everyone in those towers, their families … and every single Victorian that there are literally hundreds and thousands of people working, from police to social workers, to nurses and doctors, all the way through to people working in our supermarkets, people working in commercial kitchens … they are all doing their absolute best," Mr Andrews said.
"It will be very difficult to know with such a large number of cases who might have been the very first case."Additional Australian Defence Force personnel will be deployed to assist with Victoria's coronavirus pandemic response. "There are a couple hundred of ADF staff who are here now or on the way - taking over some of the mass testing sites which then allows some Victorian staff to go off and do other things, whether it's testing in these high-rise towers or other settings where people can't leave their home," he said."They're people who bring really specialist skills and they're absolutely invaluable," Mr Andrews said.
