"The latest COVID wave is with us, with its viral subvariants BQ.1 and XBB.
Once again, our health system will be stretched.
That’s not just hospitals. A stretched health system affects the interaction
between you and your GP, the availability of medicines, the policies of the
aged care home your mother is in, the research that brought you vaccines, the
mental health-care provider, Medicare and more.
The situation is very different to earlier COVID waves. Now, we have fewer
public health measures in place. Health staff are also exhausted from almost
three years of the pandemic.
Here’s what needs to happen next for our health systems to cope with the latest
COVID wave."
