Coronavirus spreads to South West as doctors warn COVID-19 harder to treat in regional WA

ABC  

From pharmacies running short on vital supplies to air services being cut, regional towns across Western Australia are starting to feel the brunt of the coronavirus fallout. Key points: The first regional WA COVID–19 cases have been found in the South West Doctors say country areas face a harder task treating viruses There are also fears about a lack of protective equipment for doctors But the characteristic resilience of regional towns has also been evident, with locals even offering to help stock supermarket shelves to keep their communities going. "I'm not going to sugar-coat this, PPE is a concern and we're trying to make sure that we protect our GPs, particularly our regionally based GPs," he said. "We've made a call that if we see people that aren't locals panic buying or stocking up then unfortunately they will have to go where they've been buying the past few years," Mr Davies said. "We had a local business anonymously give us $1,000 the other day and they wanted to make sure that went to people who could not afford to get supply," he said.
