'If COVID-19 gets into our communities, we are gone': Indigenous leaders' dire coronavirus warning

"We're especially worried about the impact this virus could have on our old people," Ms Turner said.

Breaking down the latest news and research to understand how the world is living through an epidemic, this is the ABC's Coronacast. Travel restrictions to and from remote communities have been imposed in the Northern Territory, South Australia and WA, and the Torres Strait Islands have ceased issuing new permits for visitors and stopped non-urgent travel.

These communities should be on lockdown and protected, first Australian should not be treated as last citizen

Agree 100%! We cancelled our Easter plans of road tripping and camping in western QLD. Did not want to risk the health of our western brothers and sisters. Stay safe y'all.

Only works if the travel ban applies to everyone. Including relatives in Adelaide, Ceduna, Darwin etc. sorry businesses? footy carnivals?

These indigenous communities must really be protected! 💕 🙏

I was just thinking about this very thing. It would be an absolutely devastating tsunami of death for our indigenous Australians. It would be catastrophic. 😥

Why are you week and sick?

Indigenous degenerates are the least of are worries,no one cares about them.

This is why the LNP are doing nothing to stop that happening.
