MELBOURNE: Australia's military announced on Thursday that it would send 1,000 troops to Melbourne in an effort to help contain the country's only significant coronavirus outbreak over fears of a second wave.
Defence Minister Linda Reynolds said Thursday that 1,000 troops would be rapidly deployed to Victoria"in the coming days". It comes as community concern about the virus spread ramps up in Melbourne, with pop-up testing centres set up in virus"hot spots" in response to long queues and supermarkets reimposing buying limits amid fears of a return of panic-buying.
