Australia, Melbourne discussing switch to Covid-19 abolition plan as lawsuits surge

Sydney-Australia approached its elimination appetizingly COVID-19 Pandemic Last month, however, it is currently imposing restrictions to combat the outbreak in the two largest cities.

This experience has led to fierce conflict in Australia in trying to control or eliminate the virus.

The federal government argued that its clear purpose was “aggressive suppression,” and elimination was too costly. It will result in the loss of hundreds of thousands of extra jobs.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the offsetting strategy provides a false sense of security and is potentially more dangerous, as it encourages people to be self-satisfied with the risk of development occurring. Especially from the people who returned to the quarantine station.

“People get more self-sufficient, which is a very dangerous strategy and can be very fantastic,” he told reporters.

“If the process results in an offset, that’s okay. But we can’t borrow a mortgage from the economy in search of something that proves to be a very fantastic target.”

After a severe national Covid-19 outbreak in March, states and territories introduced strict blockades and border closures. But as the new case was quickly dismissed, they began to lift restrictions. By early June, Australia had less than 10 new cases per day, involving almost all Australians and quarantine residents returning from abroad.

But Australian case number Since then, it has surged following the outbreak in Melbourne, It is believed that this began with the infection of a quarantine hotel security guard.

Two weeks ago, the Victorian Government introduced a new six-week blockade in Melbourne. However, the outbreak continued to worsen and the state set 484 records Wednesday (22 July). With the exception of Victoria, there were 19 new cases in Australia. In total, In Australia, there are 12,896 cases and 128 deaths.

The outbreak in Melbourne spread to New South Wales, with an average of 14 cases per day over the past week. Most are involved in community outbreaks in Sydney, urging state governments to impose limited restrictions. As of Friday (July 24th), group bookings for restaurants, bars and cafes are limited to 10 from the previous 20. The venue must also have a registered safety plan, including records of hygiene, physical distance, and staff and customer contact details.

However, new outbreaks in Victoria and New South Wales have prompted Australia to pursue plans to completely eradicate the virus. This may include strict blockades in the affected areas, continuing beyond the end of all observed local transmissions.

Some public health experts say they have changed their minds, and data on the outbreak of Covid-19 in Australia and around the world show that eradication is possible in certain geographical regions. I believe that

For example New Zealand In pursuit of an exclusion strategy, we introduced one of the toughest blockades in the world. The virus has not been infected by the community for more than 80 days.

Gregory Door, a professor at Kirby Institute at the University of New South Wales, said that Melbourne’s eradication strategy includes a 2-3 week physical distance extension and effective blockade beyond what would be possible if the community was not infected. I was told. You will also need to wear masks, protect vulnerable groups, perform advanced tests, and carry out watertight quarantine on arrivals from abroad.

“In times of uncertainty, waiting for an effective vaccine may make efforts to eliminate it more certain,” he wrote at the Sydney Morning Herald.

The corporate group opposed further strict blockades. It says it will do too much damage and prevent some companies from restarting.

However, some economists have begun to support calls for exclusion strategies, as the containment model leads to uncertainty and runs the risk of multiple blockades in the future.

Daniel Wood, chief executive officer of the Gratin Institute think tank, said the pursuit of exclusions, such as those in Western Australia, would be beneficial and would allow the economy to fully reopen.

“The second wave of Victoria really highlights the potential costs of suppression strategies,” she told ABC News.

“While the virus is spreading at a low level within the community, there is a second wave of risk, which is prohibitively expensive.”
