Former Labor Minister Stephen Conroy says ADF troops will play a vital role in halting the spread of COVID-19 cases in Melbourne.

"I think that was a wise decision," Mr Conroy told Sky News host Peta Credlin. It comes as the Victorian government revised its request for ADF assistance in curbing the spread of the coronavirus.

Premier Daniel Andrews announced on Thursday that 850 ADF personnel would be deployed across Victoria to assist the fight against an increasing number of virus cases. The revised request would reportedly see medical personnel take part in the government’s testing blitz across 10 Melbourne suburbs over 10 days. Image: Getty
