A woman caring for sick family members has told the Victorian government that her “mental health is at an all time low” as the latest wave of Omicron spreads, with few public health restrictions in place to protect those most vulnerable to the virus.
In a letter to Victoria’s health minister, Mary-Anne Thomas, the woman described the stress of caring for her three-year-old son who was born premature and has respiratory vulnerabilities, as well as her 80-year-old mother, who has just been diagnosed with advanced neuroendocrine cancer.
