What I will continue to do and what the government will continue to do is follow the medical advice and provide the systems and the resources that are available to the aged-care sector so that they can manage the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure that senior Australians get the care that they deserve. That's what we've done in Victoria by partnering with the Victorian government to establish the Victorian Aged Care Response Centre, and that's what we've done today through the announcements that I've made along with the minister to ensure that the sector has the resources that it needs.
