Exclusive: Hotels stand ready to become quarantine wards as the coronavirus threatens to overwhelm the health system's ability to cope

“At this time of need, we are looking to provide as many services as we can to assist people.”

The head of Australia’s largest private health fund is preparing for the private health system to start treating coronavirus patients, as the number of cases continues to rise and threatens to overwhelm the nation’s hospitals. He said an influx of coronavirus patients into private hospitals would likely cause non-urgent procedures to be cancelled, as has happened in France.

“In addition to that, we’re now actively investigating using Rottnest for this purpose – taking Rottnest Island and turning it into a quarantine zone for Western Australia,” he said. The island, west of Perth, can house more than 5000 people at resorts and camps. Ego Pharmaceuticals has increased production of hand sanitiser five-fold over the past month to meet hospital contracts and supply pharmacies with its Aqium product.
