Australia’s ABC News is reporting that the dispatch system of the NSW Ambulance Service has been infected with a computer virus.
As a result, according to the radio news report at midday on Sunday 13 February, emergency calls are being serviced by a manual system while staff work to clear the virus and return the ten-year-old dispatch system to service.
