Trade Minister Don Farrell is to dash home from the Prime Minister's historic trip to China to make Senate duties this week after Finance Minister and ACT senator Katy Gallagher was struck with COVID-19.
Senior sources have told The Canberra Times that Senator Gallagher is feeling the effects of the virus, but is OK and is recovering at home. It is her first bout of COVID, despite it affecting her household very early on in the pandemic.
