The acting Chief Medical Officer, Paul Kelly, has outlined the “three weapons” being used in Victoria to tackle the growing number of COVID-19 cases.

It comes as Victorian recorded 73 new coronavirus cases overnight, with Premier Daniel Andrews warning the fight against COVID-19 won’t be over “for a long time”.
