My question is addressed to the Prime Minister. Is it correct the Prime Minister waited until the first death of an aged-care resident in Victoria to make masks mandatory for Victorian aged-care workers?

The Commonwealth has always followed the medical advice regarding the wearing of masks, whether in aged-care facilities or any other places.
