The Berejiklian government will spend $2.3 billion on the coronavirus crisis, including boosting intensive care units, buying critical equipment such as ventilators and setting up respiratory clinics.

Its stimulus package, to be released on Tuesday, will include an extra $700 million in health funding to prepare for extra coronavirus testing and to bring forward elective surgeries to private hospitals.

There will also be $1.6 billion in tax relief for small businesses to help save jobs as the state braces for the dire economic impact of the virus.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the package bolstered the health system and delivered tax cuts for businesses employing tens of thousands of people.
