Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Strategic Options for Government Plan to Eliminate Community Transmission

Professor Johan Giesecke:

I agree. In the future, there will be much fewer national restrictions and action and much more local restrictions and action. Two other witnesses have said to take local action, to start the epidemiology locally and to be much more prepared to change that in small places than in the whole country. The national restrictions have been poor-lived at times. The work should be much more local in the future.
