Thank you to our partners in @WHOGOARN for making recommendations on how the world can get out of the #COVID19 pandemic and be better prepared for next time. We agree that a better financed @WHO and emergency response partners is key. https://t.co/e9nNWFMHGo

A great honour to meet @profdalefisher, the #Singapore based/@UTAS_ taught physician who has helped lead the global response to #COVID. He also works at the @NUSingapore & chairs the @govsingapore Infection Prevention & Control Committee.
Another exceptional 🇦🇺🇸🇬 connection!
We spoke to @profdalefisher about how to encourage the vulnerable yet reluctant elderly to get vaccinated against #COVID-19 and what our new "normal" may look like @cnbci
“To maintain the zero strategy is proving essentially impossible,” @profdalefisher tells @dan_murphy as China shuts down Shanghai Disney and attempts to combat a record COVID-19 surge.
Will the Beijing Olympics become a spreader event for Covid-19?
@profdalefisher of @NUSMedicine tells CNBC that it is unlikely considering the “wall” between the games and the Chinese public.
.@WHOGOARN has been a critical part of @WHO’s mission to keep the 🌍 safe & protect the vulnerable. In over 2 decades, GOARN has had 3500 deployments to 100 countries, responding to Ebola, SARS, avian influenza, H1N1, MERS & #COVID19. Thanks, @profdalefisher for your leadership!
So pleased to see you again in person, Prof. Dale Fisher @profdalefisher, @WHOGOARN Chair. Thank you for your continuous support to @WHO to respond to health emergencies, and in particular for sharing #Singapore’s best practices in the fight against #COVID19. Together!

The @sporeMOH has stopped publishing daily reports of new unlinked #Covid19 infections, but @hcsghcsg thinks it is an important statistic. I asked two experts, @profdalefisher and Dr Jeremy Lim, what they thought about this: https://t.co/CFoHs3r6qQ
Saddened to read that SG is considering booster shots for young adults. More than half the world has no access to vaccines. This is not science. https://t.co/L3DKs8XjLp
“It will be impossible to contract trace due to the larger numbers of vaccinated people and antibodies they carry.” @profdalefisher told #60Mins the Delta variant is in a league completely of its own.
