Yesterday, Kylie ran into one of the most important people in Bendigo, CEO of Bendigo Health Peter Faulkner and immediately made a crucial mistake... she tried to shake his hand! 

On the other hand (pun intended), Kylie managed to convince Peter to have a chat this morning, to find out more about how Bendigo health is preparing for the outbreak. 

Peter discusses the State Government's decision to fund 45 extra beds at Bendigo health and how this will help to ease the pressure on Victoria's health system. 

Peter emphasises the importance of social distancing, he confirms whether or not there have been any COVID-19 cases detected at Bendigo so far and elaborates on the processes involved when a positive case is detected.

Tune into the full chat below...
