Australia’s chief medical officer has asked employers to let their staff work from home ‘if feasible’ amid an uptick in new Covid-19 cases.
Professor Paul Kelly said the advice from health experts comes as Australia experiences a ‘significant increase’ in cases of the new BA.4 and BA.5 variants.
‘We cannot stop this wave of infections but we can slow the spread and protect the vulnerable,’ Prof Kelly said in a statement on Tuesday.
‘The Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) has reiterated its advice on reinfection periods, testing and isolation, mask-wearing, vaccine boosters and treatments and called on employers to allow work from home if feasible.’
