The federal government will on Tuesday announce an initial $2.4 billion health package to help mitigate the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

Part of the government's funding will go towards establishing 100 pop-up respiratory clinics which will be fully staffed by doctors and nurses and will have the capacity to attend to 75 patients a day over six months.

The clinics will be established in areas of need across Australia and are designed to stop people with mild symptoms of the novel coronavirus from visiting hospital waiting rooms or GP offices and further spreading the disease. The package will also include a fully-bulk billed online service that will assist those in self-quarantine due to the virus. A further $30 million will be allocated to a national communications campaign, which will ensure factual and consistent information is provided.

Morrison is as useless as a Buddhist pest controller. I hope this money is directed by health experts, not Morrison, Greg Hunt or some staffer. They better keep the paper work, because this lot are now under the microscope.
