Enhanced surveillance testing could and should be used to mitigate this risk with the dual aims of:
be spread to the community; and
which can be targeted with the test/trace/isolate processes to interrupt any ongoing transmission and snuff out outbreaks before they lead to widespread community transmission.
Use accurate and up to date information, know the symptoms and what to do if you feel unwell Have enough groceries medication, etc. keep physically active and activate your social network Wash your hands, avoid people who are unwell
home, consider social distancing and enhanced hygiene
COVID-19 transmission No community transmission
First confirmed case of community transmission that is controlled by track and trace measures Virus is circulating in the community (two of more community cases with no causal links identified) Sustained spread of virus in the community Sustained local transmission, multiple transmission chain from unrelated cases, rapid doubling time in number of cases Face covering guidance No change from present guidance: while there is no evidence of virus circulating in the community, use of face coverings is a personal decision Face coverings remain optional and are a personal decision Use of face coverings in enclosed crowded places and on public transport is recommended Strongly recommend use of face coverings as above Strongly recommend use of face coverings as above
Each intervention (layer) has imperfections (holes) but multiple layers improve success
No single intervention is perfect at preventing spread
Hand hygiene and cough etiquette Avoid touching your face If crowded, limit your time Physical distance stay home if sick Fast and sensitive testing and tracing Ventilation, outdoors air filtration Government messaging Quarantine and self-isolation Vaccines Wearing a facemask
