The Victorian government has revised its request for ADF assistance in curbing the spread of the coronavirus.

Premier Daniel Andrews announced on Thursday that 850 ADF personnel would be deployed across Victoria to assist the fight against an increasing number of virus cases.

The revised request would reportedly see medical personnel take part in the government’s testing blitz across 10 Melbourne suburbs over 10 days.

Medical officers would also transport test samples interstate in an effort to bolster Victoria’s testing capacity.
