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

A new poll shows most Australians say they support the coronavirus contact tracing app, but only 16 per cent have downloaded it, leaving Prime Minister Scott Morrison less than halfway to his 40 per cent uptake goal smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

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.
