Coronavirus Australia live coverage: Australian 'church' slapped with fines for selling coronavirus "cure"

The Australian arm of a controversial ‘church’ has been slapped with a $150,000 fine for selling a potentially deadly coronavirus “cure”.

An Australian 'church' has been hit with a massive $150,000 fine by the Therapeutic Goods Administration for selling a product it claims can cure coronavirus.

Miracle Mineral Solution is being sold by MMS Australia, the local arm of the US 'religion' Genesis II, and billed as a COVID-19 treatment.

The item is essentially bleach, sparking warnings from health authorities and the probe by the TGA that ultimately led to 12 infringement notices.

Meanwhile, Chief Medical Officer Professor Brendan Murphy spoke earlier today about the outlook for international travel.

And any Aussies hoping to head overseas again sooner rather than later will be disappointed.

"Two thirds of our cases have been overseas acquired and recent analysis in academic literature has shown that those countries that have done the best have introduced border measures," Professor Murphy said.

"I cannot see border measures materially changing for some time and that presents a huge problem for the nation."
