Australia's Chief Scientist has commended Victoria for making "enormous" improvements to its contact tracing system during the coronavirus pandemic.
"Improvements have been manifest across all of the system," the Chief Scientist told Senate Estimates. "The focus on improving the end-to-end process so cases don't get lost in the system, so everyone gets followed up with minimal confusion as efficiently as possible — I'd say the effort being applied is enormous."
"We need some more weeks of testing the system because it's all very new, but by design and implementation it is very impressive," Dr Finkel said.Stay up-to-date on the coronavirus outbreak
Rubbish
LaTrioli would be good if you could start promoting this story. Possibly even interview Dr Finkel. NSW system hasn't been tested with 725 cases. Apples/oranges, no comparison. auspol
The tracing might be good but the communication is crap!
They have more of the latest model fax machines than any other state.
Getting used to these rubbish headlines from the ABC. - such a shame
Hello I think the phrase you're looking for is that Sutton is right. ThisIsNotJournalism
That is a ridiculous headline. Not incorrect what a fence sitter
DefundTheABC ScottMorrisonMP
Hope Brett is right.
First Sutton stuffed it up for 6 months with no contract tracing and the super spread event took hundreds of lives, now ‘a’ scientist can confirm that it’s the best system in Australia - so everything is sweet now
If I remember correctly, a team of NSW contact tracers went to Melbourne early in their lockdown, in order to educate Victoria on how gold standard tracing is done.
Is it an alternative truth to say it’s incorrect to say it is or isn’t the best contact tracing in Australia? What?
It's not incorrect to say corn kernels are the tastiest part of the turd 👍
When will the ABC get defunded?
What a load of crap... there are multiple examples of contact tracers contacting people 2 weeks after the person had attended.
How much did he pop in your pocket or have you been in their conditioning mind control meeting room just asking my opinion my question
My questions for the VictorianCHO is: 1. “ if our contact tracing system is the best in Australia,then why did we have to such severe lockdown response in Melbourne? 2. “Why did the other states seem coped okay with few breakouts here & there without the severe lockdown?”
That should not surprise anyone given the 800 lives lost in the Vic Govt Hotel Quarantine disaster ... delusional.
Hilarious “not incorrect”
Fact. NSW's is better.

Victoria building QR code check-in tool to bolster COVID defenceThe ACT, NSW and New Zealand ask businesses to use QR code apps to track customers to speed up contact tracing. The Victorian government is being urged to take up the model. The Age Always being helpful towards the State Government Or are they just like the Herald Sun ? Hey isn’t there another App that is meant to assist in all of this as well? Some sort of safe thing to be a “critical tool” to be used to protect the health of the community? Is there such a thing GregHuntMP healthgovau I hope by 'Vic is developing' means we r just taking. Just use the mouse trap we don't want a better one, without a working one in place.

FionaPattenMLC will properly step in to get DA off the hook again!!! I could be wrong. But I am not expecting much from someone who pushed through the SOE extension and the Bill to give DA more power! Something to look at FionaPattenMLC dan says he has the best system in oz and that you cant add the successful QR system used in other states because it can't talk to his system(salesforce) without building new one, he is either lying again or has no clue. 15 mins. Callmedan PATTEN !!! ..... OMG they aren't even bothering to hide their corruption now. Her price keeps getting higher and higher. What's it going to cost us now ?

SA border relaxation with Victoria could require four weeks without community transmissionIt could take at least 28 days without coronavirus community transmission in Victoria for South Australia to consider relaxing its hard border with the eastern state, SA's Police Commissioner says. This is absolutely ridiculous for people in areas where there has been no community transmission for 6 months, ie Mildura. Will Mr Steven’s pay my rent or help out with the two lots of bills I have because I am forced to live in Mildura until they let us back in? Interestingly SA is requiring Victoria to have eliminated the virus but happy to open to NSW several weeks ago And who is going to help us get home? Mildura has had fewer cases than Adelaide in the last 6 months, and nobody cares that our lives are in limbo here. We are not only trapped but deserted by our own government. Abandoned. Feels wonderful.
