Tracking potential COVID-19 patients is crucial to 'avoid domestic transmissions'

Tracking potential COVID-19 patients is crucial to 'avoid domestic transmissions' Queensland shadow Tourism Minister David Crisafulli says having a team of people to track down those individuals who may have come into contact with the coronavirus is “what has to happen”.

The Daily Telegraph is reporting “a crack team of disease detectives on the trail of the killer coronavirus are making 1300 calls a day to hunt down everyone in the state who has had contact with a person diagnosed with COVID-19”.

Mr Crisafulli said the countries which have failed to control the coronavirus were the countries which “allowed international transmissions to become domestic transmissions”.

“Once that ratio is up to one person infecting three or four others, then it just goes berserk and one person can become several hundred cases,” he told Sky News host Peter Gleeson.

“If you can stay on top of it… then you can start slowly returning things to normal,” he said.
