Care should be taken to avoid lifting COVID-19 policy restrictions within short time periods, as it could take more than 2 months to detect the consequences of any changes, according to modelling research published today. MORE: ow.ly/abVJ50BfokW

1108 ANZ doctors responded. Only 20% of AU docs have been mask fit tested. NZ better at >50%, but still work to do. SA is a shining light, with VIC and QLD far behind. Please protect us. More results to come. @normanswan @VictorianCHO @amavictoria @amapresident @ASA_Australia

Six months into this pandemic, I wonder if health care workers had been fit-tested 2 months ago and were given N95s 1 month ago, where would we be today? What held us back was the foundational assumption that COVID19 is contact/droplet spread rather than aerosol/airborne.

70 to 80% of healthcare workers infected with COVID-19 during the state's second wave of infections caught it at work. AMA Victoria president Julian Rait said the latest data validated their concerns. "The Government has been complacent," he said. MORE: ow.ly/v6DK50B8bAW

Far too many Vic health workers are being infected in their workplace; and we are being asked to fight this invisible enemy without the proper defences to protect ourselves! #COVID19Vic @amavictoria @ama_media – at Melbourne, Victoria

Here's the latest analysis from the AMA's mathematicians, indicating that the OR is 4.05 for all infections arising amongst HCW's since 16/07/20. Clearly there are cracks in the protection of our health workforce that need to be urgently addressed @healthcare_19 #CovidVic
