Professor of Epidemiology @UNSW with an eye on infection at all times. Advisor to @WHO Health Emergencies IPC Preparedness, Readiness and Response to COVID-19
Vic stubborn but slow recovery from effective multiple restrictions. Keep it up Vic ❤️ it will get better (slowly). NSW improving; but too early to relax 😷
Curfew aims to reduce social interaction. Inequity must also be addressed that are associated with working multiple jobs, working in crowded settings, low pay, under employment & living in crowded conditions.
20-34 year olds disproportionally represented in Vic COVID-19 cases. Vic curfew tough while aiming to protect them from COVID & possible long term ill health by reducing the higher number of social contacts this age group have than older groups. Thinking of you ❤️
