A lot of people knew something around the 8th of March. We were already getting alerts that this might change into a big event at that time.
It is difficult to predict how the outbreak will evolve in Australia and the situation may change rapidly. When significant community transmission is occurring, social distancing measures such as cancellation of public gatherings will be considered.
The AHPPC is closely monitoring the situation and further advice regarding public events will be provided when necessary.

I think a lot of people were alerted to coronavirus when Tom Hanks and his wife tested positive on March 11.
On March 12 Utah Jazz's Donovan Mitchell tested positive for the virus. That was also in the news. Wasn’t he the player who touched all the microphones?
