Australia is reimposing restrictions as hundreds of people in Victoria have tested positive for the virus in the past two weeks.Infections are resurging, representing a disappointing setback for Australia.
Until two weeks ago we appeared to have successfully controlled the virus.The State and Federal authorities are enforcing tough restrictions following a steep surge in cases like lockdowns in Metro Melbourne and Mitchell Shire, reducing numbers in group bookings in pubs, limiting patrons in venues to 300, closing borders and prohibiting interstate travel.
The number of infections goes up and down.
Each tide cycle represents one âwaveâ of coronavirus.One virus cycle has ended, when the virus has been brought under control and infected cases have fallen substantially.For a second cycle to start, you would need to see a sustained rise of virus infections in an attempt to avoid slowing down society to return to a normal life.
Covid-19 has proven it is still out there and it is no less infectious or deadly than at the start of the pandemic.
If we lift all our restriction measures, Australia could be back to square one.We have to find a way to maintain control, while minimising the daily disruption.
