National oversight of protocols long overdue
The call by Australian health scientists for the federal government to assume control and oversight of the quarantine protocol for people entering the country is patently correct and long overdue (“Scientists call for PM to take over quarantine”, 6/2). The virus does not discriminate between one state and another, so why should quarantine protocols do so. The best-practice approach, based on the latest, verifiable evidence, should be the guiding principle, applicable to all states and territories.
