‘Selfish’ doctors under investigation over illegal lockdown party
AHPRA says it 'can and will' take action against health practitioners who fail to comply with their legal obligations
AHPRA will launch an investigation into doctors who allegedly attended an engagement party in Melbourne as the city was in lockdown over the weekend.
Police have already vowed to issue $5000 fines to every adult who attended the party, which has been described by Premier Daniel Andrews as a potential super-spreader event.
Six people have so far tested positive for COVID-19 while a total of 69 guests are self-isolating, along with 90 of their close contacts.
AAP reports at least two doctors attended along with a psychologist.
