Changing Australia’s approach to managing COVID-19 pandemic may help reduce burden on health system

"A change in Australia’s approach to the COVID-19 pandemic is “desperately”
needed, according to Executive Officer of the Victorian Allied Health
Professionals Association, Andrew Hewat.

In the first article in a series about the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic, Hewat says that “fighting COVID is not an all-or-nothing situation”.

Many layers can be applied to drive down transmission and minimise the impact
of the virus, including a comprehensive COVID-19 education campaign, improving
data collection and focusing on ventilation and indoor air quality.

Reducing transmission and impact of the virus will reduce the burden on the
already overwhelmed healthcare system and enable better protection of priority
populations and people at greatest risk from COVID-19, he says."
