"
A group of 16 New Zealand researchers say we should start treating illnesses
such as influenza and RSV more like COVID-19, rather than the other way
around.
In a Viewpoint article in the
New Zealand Medical Journal, they call for a
single, comprehensive mitigation strategy to tackle all serious respiratory
infections, including key measures such as improving indoor air quality,
increasing sick leave support, masking in healthcare settings and exploring the
advantages and disadvantages of mandating masks on public transport, especially
in winter."

Continued mitigation needed to minimise the high health burden from COVID-19
in Aotearoa New Zealand
This viewpoint article reviews the past, current and potential continuing
health impact of COVID-19 in Aotearoa New Zealand. It aims to identify the
optimal response to this pandemic as it transitions to being an endemic
infectious disease. It also considers how we can build pandemic preparedness
nationally and internationally based on lessons from COVID-19, particularly as
it is experienced by the most affected groups. In addition, it addresses
questions about the relative effectiveness of the New Zealand response to date,
the stringency of control measures and the factors associated with excess
mortality during the pandemic."
