Indigenous health organisations warn PM of 'absolute devastation' if COVID-19 hits remote communities

Mr Gunner says his current focus is on limiting travel to remote communities without impacting interstate freight supplies and says he is not ruling out more severe travel restrictions.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has already warned Australians about the dangers of travelling to remote areas of the country. The Prime Minister will have to decide whether to agree to a broader role for the ADF providing back-up for medical staff in remote health clinics, establishing community-based quarantine facilities within 24 hours of a confirmed community transmission of the virus in a remote community and supplying chronic medications for people in their homes so they are not forced to attend over-stretched health services.

Hasn't this post exposed some racist gronks 🙄

Plague silver lining: -Borders closed -Parents at home with their kids -Homeschooling on the rise -Hook up culture halted -Gun purchases soaring -Hollywood losing billions -Globalism is canceled -Aboriginals scared again -Asian mugrants scared again

Please, I call for the immediate reverse quarantine of ALL remote aboriginal communities. We cannot waste any more time. A simple measure to prevent so much possible harm not only to lives but our heritage. We must act now! One road in, one road out. It’s easy, screen all entries

I hope we protect these vulnerable Aussies

That'll fall of deaf ears, I think he cares even less than Abbott.

and obviously the PM isn't going to pay any attention. indigenous communities are hit hardest by crises each and every time, and the government scratches their heads and shrugs.

We owe these communities absolute protection and resources for their survival now and always.

Imagine the horrific impact if it hit somewhere like Aurukun, or into the Torres Strait? Lack of available medical resources & a high mortality rate. Horrific and terrifying for all. I hope they manage to keep it out of the communities COVID19au coronavirusaustralia

Can’t they just utilise the ancient indigenous knowledge about disease transmission.

because STD's isn't bad enough...
