Read the transcript of Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer Alison McMillan’s interview on 19 April 2020 with Kieran Gilbert about COVID-19. KIERAN GILBERT: Welcome back to the program.
Joining me now is the Chief Nursing Officer Alison McMillan. Alison, thanks very much for your time. On the current trends, these encouraging numbers that we’re seeing in terms of the infection rate, can Australia eliminate this virus?
Can we eradicate it? ALISON MCMILLAN: I think it’s ambitious to suggest we can eradicate it. It’s a pandemic around the world and so we will always have the potential to reintroduce it if we were to open our borders.
