Australians are keen to get back on the sporting field but given the close contact and the huge numbers of people involved, could it spark a second wave that undoes all our hard work? We speak to Tim Cotter  - Head Coach Newcastle City Blues Australian Football Club and Paul Kelly  - Deputy Chief Medical Officer.

 

In today’s headlines:
