The Australian Health Protection Principal Committee will advise on which activities to undertake and escalate this plan. This will be done in consultation with relevant parties and on advice from expert bodies. As the government has shown to date, we will continue to follow the expert advice. Communication is a priority under the plan in order to ensure the delivery of timely, accurate and comprehensive clinical information to health professionals and to the broader community so that they can effectively manage patients, implement COVID-19 control measures and minimise their own risk of exposure. You can be assured that, consistent with the plan, the Australian government, in collaboration with states and territories, is planning for all scenarios, and we are communicating with the broader community and the private sector.
