The Australian Radio Network (ARN) office in Melbourne is temporarily closed after a team member tested positive for COVID-19 (coronavirus).

The news emerged this morning when Christian O’Connell, the breakfast presenter on ARN’s Gold 104.3, took to Twitter to say the station “has had to go into a 24 [hour] emergency Corona lockdown”.

No radio show this morning @gold1043. The station has had to go into a 24hr emergency Corona lockdown. Will say more when I can. Please stay safe and also AT HOME. Show will be back tomorrow morning.
Big love, Christian
