He advised that, for governments to change the course of the pandemic, they should “detect, test, treat, isolate, trace and mobilise their people in the response” and adopt a “whole-of-government, whole-of-society approach built around a comprehensive strategy to prevent infections, save lives and minimise the impact”. Continue reading...
