The group has also stopped all non-essential elective surgery and closed its in-house pharmacies to the public, to reduce the risk of asymptomatic carriers transmitting the virus to staff or patients. “Our modelling suggests that, as has been experienced in other countries, and depending on the effectiveness of the lockdown, it will require ongoing evaluation to determine if the time period is sufficient to achieve its intended goals,” it said.
