Thanks @Mike_Honey_ and @dbRaevn you've visualised the outbreak nicely. Outbreak management looks now at critical issue of % cases not in isolation. Visualising this would be helpful as I'd like to show it at a data conference - giving all credit to both of you

Unfortunately except when specific cases are called out, we only get told the sum total of cases in a day that were isolating, not which cases, so I can't indicate them on the map. However, @juliette_io does chart these numbers over time to see the trend:
Seems green was the right colour for this chart Gladys says more cases in quarantine / isolation during infectious period show there are 'green shoots' in controlling outbreak🌱 Saturday: (+35) 🏠Yes: 23 🐦No: 9 🏃‍♂️In part: 3 #covid19aus #covidnsw #covid19nsw #COVID19Vic

thanks I've been following this purple group since the beginning as its critical. I have your link and @Mike_Honey_ and will show this to the conference on how outbreak epi has advanced from 'line list' and 'spot maps' 😆

Singapore publishes daily epidemiology reports that include individual case numbers & links (see p5 example 3 July: moh.gov.sg/docs/librariespro…). Daily! The level of basic data provided puts Australia to shame. Can't we, or won't we, provide these details? #covidaus

There are different privacy laws at work. I can't say exactly how much that factors into it, but Australian officials try to avoid identifying individuals.

Indeed. Data could be improved by simply date case number isolation eg 4Jul274NI (not in isolation) and mesh locator. Check out Po-Shen Loh’s app uses voluntary data entry by case then uses social network of case to inform users of degree of closeness to case.
