Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

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

Dr. Kirsten Schaffer:

I agree with Dr. Ryan and Dr. McConkey that it is very important to have an open debate, which is what has been missing so far. The debate needs to be based on facts and on what we have learned about the virus so we can make a plan going forward into the future. A debate is the only way we can get more public engagement on a strategy.
