6 WHO criteria easing restrictions. These Points important for us:
*Capacities to detect, isolate, treat, trace;
*Risks minimised in special setting e.g RACFs;
*Prevention strategy for workplace, schools & e.g. transport;
*Community educated, engaged, empowered in “new norm”.

Coronavirus cases in Aged Care should be immediately hospitalised. Better to immediately relocate those infected to hospital wards dedicated to Covid-19 cases. #agedcare #Australia #auspol #ausbiz

0-18yr kids can get COVID (156 cases). Kids don't drive family clusters/outbreaks. Adults drive infection. Most adult cases are mild. Adults staff schools. Let's wait 5 more weeks (time for more certainty), get flu shots, staff with mildest symptom stay home please.

COVID-19 can remain on surfaces for hours. Gratitude to all the hospital environmental cleaners whose professionalism keep patients, visitors, admin, support staff and healthcare workers safe. Thank you.

WHO uses 2-10 days. A case is most infectious on days 4-8 after acquiring COVID-19. To be able to leave isolation its 10+3 (isolation for at least 10 days since first symptoms then 3 more days having no symptoms).
Not concerned. Johns Hopkins played catch-up today, 114 Ozzie cases dumped on today's date. China accused of 'data dumping' mid-Feb. But happens during large outbreaks.

Doing well Australia!
Getting a flu shot reduces surge on overworked healthcare providers; saves on COVID-19 testing due to similar initial symptoms; keeps flu away; all good! Stay well, stay home.

Good to see @Covid19NSW targeting hotspots, to test the community, before considering loosening social restrictions. Targeted and wide spread testing flushes out mild cases for isolation and reduces spread. Please get your flu shot to reduce demand on our healthcare system.

We are starting to “flatten the curve” in Australia and health officials can soon flush out Covid-19 clusters. But expect a spike in cases, as reported n today’s @australian

How is “modelling” most usefully applied during a pandemic? It’s probably best used to consider “worst case scenarios” and then plan for numbers of ICU beds, Protective equipment needed (PPEs), burials etc. tinyurl.com/yxyxm6jd

Big outbreaks (e.g. SARS '03) don’t just stop dead. There’s a long tail, over many weeks, from cluster cases. To prevent resurgence keep borders closed & place mild cases away from households. #COVID2019AU
