Mornings With John Mackenzie

John MacKenzie chats with Dr. Don Mackie, Executive Director of Medical Services at Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service, to gain a local perspective on the latest wave of Covid-19. Cairns Hospital changed its pandemic response from "Green" to "Amber" last week, meaning that no elective surgery has been rescheduled and other limitations are in place. Face masks are recommended when entering a hospital or health service. The fourth wave of covid-19 is expected to cause a disruption to the Christmas holiday season in Queensland.
