NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard has urged people not to get false hope after revealing the lowest number of new COVID-19 cases since March 11, as the death toll in the state increased by one to 24.
Mr Hazzard cautiously revealed on Sunday that there were just seven new cases of COVID-19 in the state. While the results "sound hopeful", he stressed there had only been 833 tests conducted over the Easter weekend, when usually 4000 tests are done each day.NSW Health also confirmed on Sunday the death of an 82-year-old man from coronavirus at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. The man was a known contact to another case.
Mr Hazzard said about 1 in 100 people who are tested for coronavirus return a positive result and older people had taken the message about the threat of coronavirus to them. But young people were still not taking the risk seriously enough with 42 per cent of all cases in NSW aged under 40.Mr Hazzard said he was particularly worried about the mental health of people as a result of isolating and asked communities to come together during the crisis.
"I have concerns about mental health so in a sense I would focus on all of us brining back that sense of community. I strongly ask the community to come together and be kind together. If you know a neighbour who is by themselves, knock on their door and have a chat".

US economy 'will resume' after public health system is fixed | Sky News AustraliaRMIT Professor Joe Siracusa says while the United States is experiencing a “terrible situation” amid the COVI-19 pandemic, “it is not as bad as the Great Depression in terms of the economy is not broken, what is broken is the public health system”.\n\nNearly 17 million Americans have applied for unemployment benefits since the outbreak of the coronavirus with one in 10 workers having lost their jobs and trillions of dollars in cash and loans released by the Federal Reserve to try and counter the crisis. \n\nMr Siracusa told Sky News “the economy is frozen because of the health crisis”.\n\n“Once we get past the public health crisis the economy will resume”.\n\nHe said the volatility seen on Wall Street over the past weeks “means all the smart money is staying in near the markets because they know the fundamentals of the American economy, like the economy of Australia is in good shape”.\n\n“Once the public health crisis has blown through town, and it will blow through, it will take tens of thousands of lives and all the rest of it, but all the essentials are in place, so I wouldn’t get too panicky about what is going to happen to the economy,” he said. \n\nImage: AP\n Trump won't fix that because the stock market is far more important to him!!!!! So the US economy won’t resume for a few years, huh? Their health system is a joke. God save America from Trump. People is dying everyday. They are human beings. Bloody trump doesn’t care.

Woman, 91, dead after contracting coronavirus in NSWA woman dies after contracting coronavirus in NSW, health authorities confirm, taking the total death toll in the state to 23, but the increase of cases remains steady in NSW. Pre existing conditions but the virus was the cause of death.🤔 I think we are false reporting...if a healthy person contracts this virus and dies..put it towards the statistics But If a person had several pre existing medical conditions I feel this is multiple causes of death and should not be included.. false report
