The Briefing

How seriously should we take the threat of a second Coronavirus wave?


Listen Later

As we edge towards lifting restrictions and slowly get our freedoms back we’re constantly being warned about a second wave of Covid-19 infections. How concerned should we be about this in Australia, given what has happened overseas? We speak to Dr Nic Geard - Computational Epidemiologist.
 
Today's news headlines:
COVIDsafe can’t be hacked
International University students may be allowed into country despite travel ban
Photos leaked of Former North Melbourne Coach after arrest
Slater and Gordon urging travellers to join lawsuit
 
In today's Briefing we ask: Both Singapore and Japan had a second wave, what can we do to avoid that happening here in Australia? How bad have these second waves been in other countries? Is a second wave inevitable and manageable and is Australia in a good position to handle it? Which measures are going to create the most risk of a second wave of infections?
