Dr. Samuel McConkey:

I am happy to start with the first question, which related to the single most important step we could take to fix this. Honestly, there is no one single step but rather a package of measures. This is not a problem with one solution. I do not believe that the current testing, tracing and controls we have will be adequate to stop this ongoing rise, which has started to lead to increased hospitalisations and admissions to ICU. Inevitably, in two to four weeks if it continues to rise, there will be more deaths. While not many deaths are occurring right now, to me it is an inevitability, given what is happening in the US and other countries, that increased deaths will come. It is a whole package of measures. Physical distancing, with widespread community buy-in, is important, which means socialising with one's family who one lives with and neighbours not visiting one another's homes.

It involves wearing masks, as we talked about, and it involves speeding up our testing and contact tracing. A lot of improvements in the quality of speed of what we have been talking about already are needed.
