Scott Morrison has taken on the health portfolio while Greg Hunt is off sick with a bacterial infection.
Mr Hunt spent the night under observation in hospital as doctors pumped him with fluid and antibiotics.
He is expected to make a full recovery. Overnight, testing confirmed Minister Hunt s diagnosis to be cellulitis, a bacterial infection in his leg, his office said in a statement. The minister is improving and will be discharged in the coming days and expects to be back at work next week.
On his first day on the job as Acting Health Minister, the PM pays a morning visit, with cameras in tow, to the TGA. I m the first prime minister to have ever visited the TGA here in Canberra and I suppose that s appropriate given the year that we ve just had. @SBSNews#AusPolpic.twitter.com/iUIlrYyLWR Naveen Razik (@naveenjrazik) March 9, 2021
