The Doherty Institute presented its final COVID modelling report to National Cabinet on Friday. The modelling looks specifically at key populations and risk settings, including First Nations people, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, and schools.
They have also reviewed the public health response measures that are needed for Phase B and beyond and have modelled the impact of changing border arrangements.
