As discussed by Prof Bernie Hudson, Director of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases at Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney in his interview with Dr Harry Nespolon on Going Viral According to a recent analysis of COVID-19 cases among patients aged over 18 years.

Scott Morrison has made clear his view that any attempt to eliminate COVID-19 entirely in Australia would carry too high an economic cost, while Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy says such an aim would require “very aggressive” long-term border control.

Having some evidence-based guidelines on when a COVID-positive patient needs hospitalisation is likely to be welcomed by the GP currently managing these self-isolating patients.

The key points from Dr Harry Nespolon’s interview with Avant’s Ms Georgie Haysom, Head of Research Education and Advocacy and Dr Penny Browne, Chief Medical Officer.

While many scientists are working on developing a coronavirus vaccine, others are busy testing antiviral drugs. Vaccines are generally only effective when administered prior to infection, but antiviral agents are important because they can treat people who already have COVID-19.

With all the debate about whether or not schools should be closed the question has to be asked – how risky is this coronavirus pandemic to children?

When it comes to protection in your practice, surgical face masks to limit droplet transmission are the standard recommendation, assuming you can get ahold of them – but what about when seeing patients who have or may have COVID-19?

While the majority of patients infected with COVID-19 will not require treatment, there is new hope for those that do go on to become seriously ill. A few treatments developed for other illnesses are showing promise, says Clinical Microbiologist and Infectious Diseases Physician Dr Bernard Hudson.
