National Cabinet announcements Note: For Cabinet Announcements prior to 16th April please refer to previous versions of the Headline Measures Fact Sheet (noting date of publication). 18 November – The Commonwealth, states and territories have agreed to mandatory weekly testing for all staff working in coronavirus quarantine facilities across the country. Australia's Acting Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly made the announcement in the wake of the South Australian COVID-19 cluster in Adelaide northern suburbs. 13 November – The National Cabinet met today for the 31st time to discuss Australia’s COVID-19 response, the Australian COVID-19 Vaccination Policy, the Framework for National Reopening by Christmas, helping Australians prepare to go back to work in a COVID-safe environment and getting the economy moving again. National Cabinet continues to work together to address issues and find solutions to the health and economic consequences of COVID-19. The Acting Chief Medical Officer, Professor Paul Kelly, provided an update on the latest epidemiological data and medical advice in relation to COVID-19. There have been more than 27,600 confirmed cases in Australia and, sadly, 907 people have died. There are now around 80 active cases in Australia. Most notably, National Cabinet noted the significant reduction in community transmission, and that there have been only a small number of cases of community transmission in the last fortnight. More than 9.2 million tests have been undertaken in Australia. Australia has done well on both the health and economic fronts compared to most countries around the world. National Cabinet noted the significant increase in COVID-19 cases in many countries and the comparative strength of Australia’s effort in addressing COVID compared to most other developed economies. Globally there have been over 52 million cases and sadly over 1.2 million deaths. Today there have been more than 500,000 new cases reported. National Cabinet endorsed the Australian COVID-19 Vaccination Policy, which sets out the roles and responsibilities of the Commonwealth, states and territories in rolling out COVID-19 vaccination. National Cabinet welcomed the Commonwealth Government’s announcement that Australia had secured access to 134.8 million doses of four leading vaccine candidates. National Cabinet adopted all recommendations in the National Contact Tracing Review, presented by the Australian Chief Scientist Dr Alan Finkel. While vaccines are being developed, and treatments for COVID-19 are being improved, an important means to bring about a return to normal economic and community activity is rapid testing, contact tracing, isolation and outbreak management. These measures back up the ongoing need for COVID-safe behaviours such as social distancing and good hygiene. National Cabinet will meet again on Friday 11 December 2020, when the National Federation Reform Council will also meet, with a focus on mental health. Framework for National Reopening - A COVID Normal Australia The Commonwealth, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory agreed to a new ‘Framework for National Reopening Australia by Christmas’ (document attached), subject to local health advice and building on and enhancing the 3-Step Framework for a COVID Safe Australia developed in May 2020. Western Australia did not agree to the National Framework for Reopening, specifically the domestic Roadmap Out: Headline Measures Fact Sheet | as at 26 November 2020 P a g e | 6 border and international arrival proposals. The Framework provides the Australian community and businesses with a way forward where Australians can live and work in a COVID Normal Australia, recognising that the highly infectious nature of COVID-19 means that it will be present until a COVID-19 vaccine is found. The Framework underscores the need for continued health vigilance while providing a path to easing the physical and mental burden on Australians. The Framework establishes an updated Common Operating Picture based on the advice of Australia’s Chief Scientist Dr Alan Finkel AO, with strengthened criteria to ensure that health systems are prepared and detailed information is publicly available on COVID-19 conditions. The Commonwealth and seven states and territories agreed that reopening by Christmas under the Framework sets a pathway for the removal of domestic border restrictions where it is safe to do so, and with free movement of people and freight consistent with National Cabinet’s strategy of suppression with a goal of no community transmission. Review of state and territory contact tracing and outbreak management systems National Cabinet endorsed the review led by Australia’s Chief Scientist Dr Alan Finkel of the contact tracing and outbreak management systems in each state and territory and agreed to adopt all 22 recommendations. All states and territories were assessed as now having strong contact tracing and outbreak management systems in place. The review provides characteristics of an optimal contact tracing and outbreak management system and recommends that every state and territory regularly stress test their systems. The review found that patient testing, contact tracing and case management should be fully digital end to end. However while a fully digital system dramatically improves efficiency of contact tracing, it will never replace the need for well-trained contact tracers and expert public health oversight – states and territories should employ a permanent workforce for tracing and outbreak management, with senior public health leadership and should have an additional surge workforce trained and at the ready. Contact tracing must never fall behind. In the event of an outbreak, every effort should be made to go hard and go early. The review recommended the creation of a digital data exchange so that states and territories can easily access and transfer information about cases and contacts where people have crossed borders. Commonwealth, NSW, Vic and ACT will work to develop a data exchange system. The review found that states and territories should share new and emerging technologies, such as electronic venue and workplace attendance registration systems, smartphone apps to monitor selfquarantine, new diagnostic tests and wastewater surveillance. Further details are available at: www.health.gov.au Australian COVID-19 Vaccine Policy Australia is well positioned for early access to a breakthrough COVID-19 vaccine in 2021. The Commonwealth Government has secured early access to 134.8 million doses of four leading vaccine candidates worth over $3.2 billion, in addition to up to 25 million vaccines candidates through the global COVAX facility. Vaccines, should they be deemed safe and effective, are expected to be available by March 2021. National Cabinet endorsed

Some of these apps are lightweight and temporary, while others are diffuse and aggressive. Some of tracing services are developed locally by small interested programmers, while others are large-scale international operations. To date, we have recognized more than 25 large automated contact tracing efforts around the globe, included with details about what they were, how they worked, and the procedures and conditions that were put in place around them. This paper will deal with general data of the most prominent applications in terms of technical approaches used in the world and compare them with regard to the efficiency of tracking covid-19 and compare them with concerning of the people’s privacy who use these apps.

To be clear, the AMA is supportive of the pause on flights so that our hotel quarantine system can be readied for the increased risk that we are clearly seeing now of Australians returning with the virus, making absolutely sure that Australia is safe in the event that we have increased numbers coming through from India. But the announcement from the Government has caused a lot of distress in our community. There's been outrage from a very wide range of groups, including many doctors, AMA members, and in particular members of our Indian medical community who have been distressed beyond words with this announcement, on top of the distress that they're already experiencing with friends and family being exposed to the terrible risks that are occurring in India. We believe that there is a clear way forward here.

    The Hon. Scott Morrison MP Prime Minister MEDIA STATEMENT Friday 9 April 2021 NATIONAL CABINET STATEMENT The National Cabinet met today to discuss Australia’s COVID-19 response and the Australian COVID- 19 Vaccine Strategy. National Cabinet continues to work together to address issues and find solutions to the health and economic consequences of COVID-19. The Chief Medical Officer, Professor Paul Kelly, provided an update on the latest epidemiological data and medical advice in relation to COVID-19. There have been 29,390 confirmed cases in Australia and, sadly, 909 people have died. More than 16 million tests have been undertaken in Australia. To date Australia’s existing systems built around social distancing, testing, tracing, local health responses and quarantine have effectively mitigated the broader spread of COVID-19 virus and new variants of COVID-19 into the Australian community. COVID-19 vaccines will further strengthen Australia’s ability to control the virus. Australia has done well on both the health and economic fronts compared to most countries around the world. National Cabinet noted the significant increase in COVID-19 cases in many countries and the comparative strength of Australia’s effort in addressing COVID compared to most other developed economies. Globally there have been over 133 million cases and sadly over 2.9 million deaths, with around 816,000 new cases reported in the last 24 hours. Australia’s COVID-19 vaccine roll out is expanding. To date 1,077,511 doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in Australians, including 81,297 in the last 24 hours.

    A Covidsafe Corridor – National Protocols for the Resumption of International Student Travel IHEA Welcomes the National Cabine

    A COVIDSafe Corridor – National Protocols for the Resumption of International Student Travel IHEA welcomes the National Cabinet’s Roadmap to a COVIDSafe Australia including consideration of the conditions under which international student travel can recommence. All Australians benefit from the contribution international students and their families make to our economy. It is critical that the international education industry can bounce back in the next major student commencement period for Australian higher education in early 2021. IHEA proposes a COVIDSafe Corridor for international student travel comprising four elements: national protocols; pilot programs; provider principles; and participation of independent providers in pilots. Australia’s high quality independent higher education providers have the capacity to implement national protocols, the essential characteristics for international student support and success, and are well placed to participate in successful pilot programs. International education is Australia’s third largest export industry contributing $38 billion to our national economy and generating 250,000 jobs. A resumption of student travel is critical to the recovery of Australia’s economy and the jobs and livelihoods of Australian workers and their families. 1. IHEA proposes national protocols to establish a COVIDSafe Corridor to facilitate the safe entry of international students to Australia. Development of a ‘COVIDSafe Corridor’ that establishes the conditions for international student travel to resume is essential

    Digital Contact Tracing and the Coronavirus: Israeli and Comparative Perspectives

    DIGITAL CONTACT TRACING AND THE CORONAVIRUS: ISRAELI AND COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES TEHILLA SHWARTZ ALTSHULER RACHEL ARIDOR HERSHKOVITZ GOVERNANCE | AUGUST 2020 DIGITAL CONTACT TRACING AND THE CORONAVIRUS: ISRAELI AND COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES TEHILLA SHWARTZ ALTSHULER RACHEL ARIDOR HERSHKOVITZ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Digital contact tracing is the main technological issue currently facing countries that are dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper explains the concept of digital contact tracing and highlights its importance as a helpful tool for human epidemiological investigations and for minimizing the spread of the novel coronavirus. It goes on to survey the international scale of policy tools that have been selected for the purpose of digital contact tracing — ranging from China, which imposed mandatory means on all citizens that incorporate artificial intelligence and generate a “health code”; to Asian democracies such as South Korea and Taiwan, which have implemented intrusive digital tracking tools that are run by civil agencies, with no involvement of the secret services; to the democratic countries of Europe as well as Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, which employ digital contact tracing only with citizens’ consent. Israel, it was found, has positioned itself between the Asian democracies and China. We believe that a new outbreak of the pandemic in the winter of 2020-2021 is liable to prompt countries to choose one of two options. The first is to refrain from using digital contact-tracing technology because of its infringement on privacy. We believe this would be the wrong choice, because it means losing a major technological advantage for coping with the virus and would merely reinforce the mistaken argument that privacy and innovation are incompatible.

Abstract In this thesis centralized, decentralized, Bluetooth, and GPS based applications of digital contact tracing were reviewed and assessed. Using privacy principles created by a contingent of security and privacy experts from across Canada, a metric of assessing an application’s privacy was created. An attack tree was built to assess the security of the contact tracing applications. Eighteen attacks were theorized against contact tracing applications currently in use. An application’s vulnerability to the attacks was measured using a scoring system developed for this purpose. The results of the security scores were used to create a metric for assessing the security of contact tracing systems.
  • The Hon. Scott Morrison MP STATEMENT UPDATE on CORONAVIRUS MEASURES

    The Hon. Scott Morrison MP STATEMENT UPDATE on CORONAVIRUS MEASURES

    UNOFFICIAL The Hon. Scott Morrison MP Prime Minister STATEMENT Friday 12 June 2020 UPDATE ON CORONAVIRUS MEASURES The National Cabinet met today to further discuss Australia’s current COVID-19 response, easing restrictions in the coming months, helping Australians prepare to go back to work in a COVID-safe environment and getting the economy moving again. The Chief Medical Officer, Professor Brendan Murphy, provided an update on the measures underway, the latest data and medical advice in relation to COVID-19. Treasury Secretary, Dr Stephen Kennedy, provided an update on the labour market and current economic conditions. There have been over 7,200 confirmed cases in Australia and sadly 102 people have died. There are now less than 500 active cases in Australia, and over the past week, daily infection rates have remained low. Testing remains high, with more than 1.7 million tests undertaken in Australia. National Cabinet recommitted to a strategy of suppression of COVID-19. We need to continue to have the right controls in place to test more people, trace those who test positive and respond to local outbreaks when they occur. These are precedent conditions to enable Australia to relax baseline restrictions and enable Australians to live and work in a COVID-safe economy. National Cabinet again encouraged Australians to download the COVIDSafe app to ensure that we can protect Australians and continue to ease baseline restrictions. More than 6.3 million Australians have already downloaded the COVIDSafe app. This is an enormous achievement but more is needed. National Cabinet will meet again on 26 June 2020.

    Contact Tracing in the Privacy Age What’S the Future of Digital Contact Tracing in NZ?

    Contact tracing in the privacy age What’s the future of digital contact tracing in NZ? “Contact tracing” is one of the phrases Covid-19 has introduced into our everyday vernacular and even our legislation. Most New Zealand businesses, including retail stores, malls, cafes, cinemas and gyms, are now able to operate if they comply with public health guidelines, including the COVID-19 Public Health Response (Alert Level 2) Order 2020. One of the requirements imposed by the Order is for businesses to keep records to enable contact tracing. The question now is how do we effectively contact trace on national scale, which practicably means digitally, while keeping within our current regulatory regime? In this article, we comment on the data privacy issues involved, and look at what the public sector or any business looking to develop or implement digital contact tracing solutions should consider.
