Trying to infect doctors with COVID-19 to become a criminal offence
Two people have already been charged in the ACT, says Federal Minister for Health Greg Hunt
People who try to deliberately infect doctors with COVID-19 could be jailed for life, according to Federal Minister for Health Greg Hunt, who has vowed to step up protection of frontline staff.
Disturbed by reports of doctors being threatened or coughed on, Mr Hunt has warned authorities will be cracking down on threats and intimidation of healthcare workers.
