Ten years today since Health Minister Nicola Roxon’s Second Reading Speech, presenting Plain Packaging legislation to the Australian Parliament. Now legislated in 20 jurisdictions with more on the way.

Happy anniversary to all who made it happen.

30 people attended a party where someone had COVID.

24 people have since tested positive. 6 have tested negative.

Those 6 people were fully vaccinated.

It is a race.

[Dan Andrews @DanielAndrewsMP]

Before I come back to work tomorrow, I thought I would share what happened. In my own words.

[James Merlino @James_Merlino1]

The situation in India right now is nothing short of devastating.

We simply cannot sit by and do nothing. We must step up and provide real, tangible support.

That's why we're sending 1000 ICU ventilators to support Indian doctors, nurses and medical staff.

[Chief Health Officer, Victoria @VictorianCHO]

Feeling just a wee bit ordinary today - achey and tired. On the plus side, go immune system! For fact sheets following vaccination please see: https://t.co/C9jZWec17e

This is a really important new step for Gippsland. The hospital vaccination hub at Latrobe Regional Hospital is now open. This morning I met with the staff at Latrobe Regional Hospital and sat in as Simmo, a local ED nurse, received the first COVID-19 vaccine at the hub.

👏🏼 👏🏼 Stellar effort from all Victorians. We should all be so proud #COVID19Victoria

[Allen Cheng @peripatetical]

There are no active cases of COVID in Victoria today, after the last patient was discharged from hospital last night. It doesn't mean the threat is gone, but certainly a milestone considering we had 7880 active cases on 11 August.

[Victorian Department of Health @VicGovDH]

Yesterday there were 0 new cases, 0 lives lost and 0 cases with an unknown source reported. Three active cases remain. There were 6,695 test results received – thank you, #EveryTestHelps

2020 has been consumed by #COVID19 and we've seen proof that prevention & early detection have enormous value. What can we learn for chronic disease? #NCDs @CroakeyNews @ncdalliance @heartfoundation @strokefdn @KidneyHealth @DiabetesAus @CancerCouncilOz

.@ProfSharonLewin says as a fellow Melbournian she’s just as disappointed as everyone else (she wants life to return to normal too), but as a clinician scientist, she says the #RoadMapForReopening is logical, cautious and evidence-driven ✅✅✅ #goodplan #leadership #womeninSTEMM

[Chief Health Officer, Victoria @VictorianCHO]

I received over 1000 questions from the community about #COVID19. Here are some answers for those wanting to know more about the most important safety measures. Remember, every little bit counts. https://t.co/4Gg3iTfQXC

[Hazel Fetherston @H_Fetherston1]

Yes, we should be doing all we can to reduce the spread of #COVID19 but considering the long term issues such as the existing burden of preventable #chronicdisease is equally as important #NCDs

[Dr Alexey Kulikov @KulikovUNIATF]

Obesity increases the risk of dying of #Covid19 by nearly 50% and may make vaccines against the disease less effective, according to a comprehensive study using global data. #obesity https://t.co/cH8fB5cDnC
