It may not prove a popular suggestion, but Dr Cathie Hull, a Sydney emergency doctor, has called for a two-week lockdown for everyone living in a majorly populated area, to contain the spread of the coronavirus at this “critical stage”.

Dr Hull has just emerged from self-quarantine after being exposed to the virus by a colleague at Sydney’s Ryde Hospital who had been hospitalised with COVID-19.
