Federal Minister for Health Greg Hunt has backed the goal of “zero deaths” for healthcare workers during the COVID-19 crisis, demanded by doctors in a letter signed by thousands.   

More than 4600 healthcare workers have signed an open letter penned by two doctors, Sydney paediatric intensivist Dr Greg Kelly and Melbourne psychiatry registrar Dr Benjamin Veness, calling on health authorities to adopt a zero deaths target by providing adequate personal protective equipment (PPE).
