"The COVID-19 pandemic remains an ongoing threat, as it enters its fifth year,
with recent surges in case numbers continuing to have a significant impact on
people within the community, healthcare workers, health service providers, and
healthcare settings. To ensure the readiness and responsiveness of the
healthcare system, healthcare workers, and the safety of the community, ACIPC
recommend:
• Equitable and easy access to the required essential resources remains,
including PPE (surgical masks and preferably P2/N95 respirators) rapid antigen
and PCR testing, and antiviral treatment.
• Engineering controls in all health care and aged care settings are reviewed,
including ventilation and air filtration be maintained and made widely
available.
• Ongoing support of communities to engage in key prevention strategies such as
promoting and encouraging vaccination, the use of respiratory PPE, clean air,
testing when appropriate and applicable, and staying home when unwell."
