World Health Organisation COVID-19 Advisor Professor Mary-Louis McLaws says the success of Australia’s response to the coronavirus can in part be attributed to our island status which meant “authorities could shut down the borders very effectively”.

Ms McLaws said the “biggest risks” posed by returning Australians from overseas and international business and tourism were mitigated by locking down the borders.

“Australians really got on board with social distancing which made an enormous difference,” she said. “The data shows, and we know internationally, that its more transmissible across the older group of patients so we’re doing very well”. Image: Getty
