The AMA is calling on the new Federal Government to address the hospital crisis “quickly” as COVID-19 deaths rise around the country, even before the winter kicks-in.

Latest figures show 88 deaths from COVID-19 were recorded nationwide over the weekend. And there were 363 deaths in the past seven days, according to state government statistics.
