HEARTS skipped a beat yesterday as unfounded rumours that Victoria Chief Health Officer (CHO), Brett Sutton, had resigned circulated.
As the face of the State's COVID-19 response the silver-haired medic has developed a devoted fan-base as a "soothing fixture and voice of authority" during these uncertain times.
