Australia is on high alert over a worsening coronavirus outbreak in Papua New Guinea which poses a “clear and present danger” to both nations.

An AUSMAT team is on its way to PNG, where half of the 500 tests conducted on Monday came back positive, as did about 40% of the samples from the Ok Tedi mine.
