"An expert has called for Victorians to get jabbed amid the latest Covid wave —
while highlighting the state government no longer had “a clear picture of the
extent of transmission”.
The Victorian government barred people from reporting their positive RAT
results many months ago. It means it no longer knows the number of Covid cases
in the state, and where the worst outbreaks are occurring.
Head of Monash University’s epidemiological modelling unit in the School of
Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Associate Professor James Trauer said
up-to-date vaccinations were the state’s most important defence against Covid
as a “significant wave of transmission” swept the state.
“Testing has declined markedly and the daily number of cases doesn’t provide a
clear picture of the extent of transmission any more,” Assoc Prof Trauer said.
“However, other data sources still give us a good sense. For example,
wastewater surveillance and hospital admissions show a marked increase in
infections over the last few months.”"
