The Australian Medical Association has urged state governments to slow down on easing restrictions citing the spike of COVID 19 infections in victoria as a stark reminder things are not over yet. 

The AMA has advised that until the Victorian spike is dealt with the rest of Australia shouldn't get back to normal as the spike can be a risk factor for the rest of the country. Australian Medical Association President Tony Bartone has suggested being complacent about restrictions during this time could set us back and risk a second wave.
