The Victoria OHS regulator’s charging of the state’s health department for failing to keep hotel quarantine workers safe from COVID-19 serves as a warning ahead of the nation opening.
The next months are going to remain difficult. But I’m still hopeful about the future. There will come a point when enough people are vaccinated that case numbers begin to decrease.
Without a vaccine, isolation remains the most effective means of controlling epidemics or pandemics, but there are better ways to implement it.
It's time to accept that moving in and out of various levels of restriction may just be a part of life as we know it in 2020, and likely 2021.
Victoria's COVID-19 spike, and return to suburban lockdown, is a reminder that we all need to follow the basics of infection control for some time yet.
