This week’s expert: Prof Peter Collignon, Infectious Diseases Physician and Microbiologist, Canberra Hospital; Professor, ANU Medical School.
As outlined by ANU’s Prof Peter Collignon in an interview with Dr Harry Nespolon on the Healthed podcast Going Viral.
• Australia’s current strategy aimed at containment and mitigation of COVID-19 is working well. Australia is in a much better place than was originally predicted according to early modelling.
• Total eradication of the virus is unlikely and is probably an unrealistic goal. More likely we will have to accept a certain level of risk with low levels of ongoing transmission in the community when we ease current restrictions.
