ASSCR member @jehudson85 and Dr Richard Mills talk with @9NewsQueensland about the findings of their study on the effects of #covid19 on the #heart

We've been warned of the affects COVID-19 has on our lungs and respiratory system, but Queensland researchers have uncovered just how damaging the virus is on our heart.
