Twenty-three cases of what is now being referred to as COVID-19 have been confirmed in Australia. Fifteen cases have been identified in the general population. All 15 of those cases have now been cleared and discharged from hospital. This is a positive step and a positive reflection on the Australian health and medical services system. Eight cases have been diagnosed associated with the Diamond Princess repatriation flight from Japan. The cases are residents of Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland and Victoria. All of these cases have been repatriated to their home states for isolation and care. The most recent case confirmed overnight is noted to be the partner of a recently repatriated Diamond Princess case. The case is receiving care in isolation in Victoria.
