In rejecting the premise of Senator Wong's question, I commit this government to continuing to work with the sector, continuing to learn about the virus, continuing to take the health advice from the health professionals within the AHPPC and its subcommittees and the CDNA and continuing to invest where it is needed to ensure that senior Australians in residential aged care continue to be protected from the virus. We work with state governments on the public health response to ensure that we reduce as much as possible the community transmission that is the source of infections.
