"Today has been Victoria&#x27;s deadliest day so far and Australia&#x27;s deputy chief medical officer Dr Nick Coatsworth has suggested there could be worse days to come. &quot;The sad reality with the number of our Australians in residential aged care facilities down in Victoria, there could be days like this again,&quot; Dr Coatsworth told the Sunday Project. &quot;This is a virus that we know affects the elderly in such a severe way.&quot;He said the work being done within the aged care sector would likely be the biggest intervention that controls the number of people dying of COVID-19. &quot;The second biggest of course is the stage four restrictions which are actually going to bring the numbers of community cases down and if we get the epidemic under control, then the number of people losing their lives will fall.&quot;"
