We have been far more proactive that most of the US and to date have 20 deaths, 1900 confirmed cases and 1700 recovered.

When things were looking good, we relaxed our restrictions. Couple of weeks later several clusters of infection have risen. We immediately reverted to more stringent measures.

Seriously, no one could have done more than our (Labor) Premier, Daniel Andrews to contain the spread. Yet it lingers.

Please, USA, learn from the efforts of other countries.
