Rural GPs struggling with post-coronavirus fatigue
RDAA president-elect Dr Megan Belot says that travel restrictions have prevented locum coverage, so doctors haven't been able to take a break in many months

Many doctors in rural and regional towns were unable to take a break due to border closures which also prevented locums from travelling in to relieve them, the association says.
