Last Saturday, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews ordered a ‘hard lockdown’ for more than 3000 residents of nine public housing towers as public health officials grappled with Melbourne’s coronavirus spike.

With residents not allowed out of their rooms except in emergency situations, the state government called upon community healthcare provider Cohealth to provide medical support.
