Healthcare workers will now be armed with effective strategies to combat pandemics and other public health crises thanks to the pandemic quarantine facility guide (https://t.co/9kQn97Sb6S), which draws from the success of the Howard Springs Centre for National Resilience.
Regional pandemics are common, particularly in low income countries, where populations are particularly vulnerable. The toolkit establishes a #StandardisedCare approach to quarantine management, reducing the problems that arise from inconsistent practices and breaches of contact.
These lessons could be a game changer on an international scale. With regional pandemics affecting at-risk communities worldwide, we need to have accessible resources on best practices that could be applied to future pandemics. #GlobalHealth
It also involved a highly skilled communicable diseases team from the @NatTraumaCentre and a health model of care approach, prioritising resident care and infection control. @MenziesResearch
According to @CDUni researchers, the centre reduced transmissions through a number of processes, including specific zones for positive cases, staff & residents, a buddy system for healthcare workers, daily health & wellness screening & reduced contact between staff & residents.
CDU Menzies School of Medicine Foundation Dean, Professor Dianne Stephens said they “hope this project reflects our experience in a way that is helpful the next time we need to stand up quarantine facilities in this country and beyond our borders.” #AcademicTwitter
We hope this open access resource is useful in any future pandemic - dedicated to all the staff who showed up every day to work at the facility with the collective purpose of keeping their community safe!
More than 33,000 people passed through a quarantine centre in the NT at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and there was no spread of the virus in the facility or into the community. Here’s how they did it, and what the world could learn @angela_sheedy@Diash13@vermeulen66

What does this vial of Pfizer vaccine represent? Centuries of mahi by scientists and doctors making advancements in technology and medicine. Decades of discoveries and victories in laboratories and hospitals. All culminating in many medications, one of which is this tiny vial /1
Dear #TeamFiji, over 80% of our adult population is now fully vaccinated. You deserve to Raise The Flag, Put Down a Lovo (or fire up the grill, or make a that mouth-watering Fiji-style goat or duck curry) and make memories with your loved ones. Happy #FijiDay!! Loloma Levu!
