Protester tests positive. What happens now? - a podcast by ABC News

A protester at the Black Lives Matter demonstrations in Melbourne has tested positive to COVID-19.

Victorian health authorities say the man was unlikely to have acquired the virus at the protest and may have been infectious at the time.

Tracing possible contacts will be difficult, so what should people do if they were at the Melbourne protest?

And what does it mean for Australia's overall response to coronavirus?

Also on today's show:
