The article doesn't mention how many troops will be provided, but it does state that "unarmed patrols" will begin on Monday.
I guess Australia doesn't have anything like the posse comitatus.

Unarmed, but that is a big deal. I don't see it getting better there either. I thought we saw here that lockdowns don't really improve things.

The article states: "Information provided by health officials indicates the virus is mainly spreading through permitted movement."
So what exactly the army, or lockdowns in general, can do to stop the spread is minimal anyway.
