Covid-19 is the biggest health crisis our planet has faced in more than 100 years.

The unprecedented global emergency is rapidly altering the way we live our lives.

With advice changing on an almost hourly basis, it can be hard to sort fact from fiction.

In an effort to keep you reliably and accurately informed of the very latest developments, 9News is ramping up its output across the country.

Tonight, tomorrow and Friday, we will continue to broadcast an additional late-night edition of 9News, dedicated to covering the Covid-19 pandemic. In Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia, the special broadcast will air at 9.00pm tonight and 8.30pm on Thursday and Friday. In NSW and Queensland, it will air at 9.00pm tonight and 10.45pm on Thursday and Friday.

And in addition to our regular weeknight bulletins of A Current Affair, this Saturday at 7.00pm we will present a special weekend edition.

Further updates to our news schedule will be announced as they are made.
