Australia’s current quarantining and testing strategy for travel - #Optimisestudy @BurnetInstitute Dr Rachel Sacks-Davis says more important to test towards the end of the 14 day period - captures 99 per cent of cases. @nick_coatsworth @healthgovau @Raf_Epstein @VictorianCHO

It’s important to engage and trust the community as they have a crucial role to play in a successful #COVID19 response - #OptimiseStudy lead @MargaretHellard tells @biomelb. @VictorianCHO @Raf_Epstein @euan_wallace @SandroDemaio @normanswan @VicGovDHHS @healthgovau @billbowtell

Thanks to the @Macquarie Group Foundation for their generous AUD$1 million support to fast track our #COVID19 #OptimiseStudy focused on two key intervention methods - isolation/quarantine and physical distancing. More: https://t.co/OEY2BH5heA #MacquarieGroupFoundation

More funding is still needed acc to @MargaretHellard from the #Optimisestudy to ensure effective community engagement to ‘Optimise’ people’s ability to quarantine, to get tested, to isolate, and quarantine - @biomelb #bioforum @VicGovDHHS @_PHAA_ @VictorianCHO @normanswan

Greatest risk for #COVID19 was identified in first wave in settings where large numbers of people from different groups mixed - pubs, clubs etc - #OptimiseStudy modeller Dr Nick Scott explains to @biomelb #bioforum @VicGovDHHS @KnowC19_Burnet

Critical reporting role the modelling and data-focused #OptimiseStudy on #COVID19 can play is through Design Sprints and interim reports to government to help inform community strategy - @MargaretHellard. @biomelb @mcarthurg @Raf_Epstein @liammannix @normanswan

Even without a quarantine period, simply testing incoming travellers reduces risk by 44% - however, addition of quarantine measures 7-21 days in length reduces risk significantly - acc to #OptimiseStudy Dr Rachel Sacks-Davis. @amavictoria @_PHAA_ @nick_coatsworth @Raf_Epstein

"Testing is a critical weapon in the public health response to #COVID19, but a new #OptimiseStudy found shame and #stigma are barriers for getting tested among young people and culturally diverse Australians," - Dr @AlisaPedrana said. More https://t.co/8VKi4dF6WM. @TheDohertyInst

Huge thanks to @biomelb for hosting our #OptimiseStudy team @MargaretHellard @rsacksdavis and Nick Scott at today’s #BioForum. Fascinating! More at https://t.co/Ej9zEVHBtr. @KnowC19_Burnet

The #OptimiseStudy will be studying people from distinctive cohorts to assess compliance, factors associated with compliance vs non-compliance, understanding of government interventions, and unintended consequences of these - as well as transmission dynamics - @MargaretHellard

Testing for #COVID should be just like going to the #GP for any other test @AlisaPedrana tells @LaTrioli about the #OptimiseStudy revealing shame and #stigma as barriers to testing for young and culturally diverse Australians @abcmelbourne @CrabbBrendan https://t.co/giJtIilmfe

Thanks @MeljCunningham and @theage for highlighting the #OptimiseStudy research about shame and stigma as barriers to #COVID19 testing for young and culturally diverse Australians. Important that we listen to community voices to help normalise testing among high-risk groups.

#BioForum @MargaretHellard , Deputy Director @BurnetInstitute , discussing the #OptimiseStudy - an innovate study with a multi-platform approach involving teams across Melbourne. ' Network transmits disease but networks also transmit behaviors" @biomelb #COVID19Victoria

@BurnetInstitute @Macquarie @MargaretHellard @AlisaPedrana @leighjasper @dalyrob @VictorianCHO @AAMRI_Aus @Raf_Epstein @LaTrioli #OptimiseStudy will provide crucial information in this regard. Thankyou @Macquarie Group Foundation for your vision and support of this ambitious project. Grateful too to our partners; @VicGovAu @VicGovDHHS @TheDohertyInst @unimelb

The #MacquarieGroupFoundation pledges AUD$1 million to the @BurnetInstitute-led #OptimiseStudy on isolation, quarantine and physical distancing to provide evidence to government in #COVID19 response. Find out more at https://t.co/atSuXkXpZE.

Shame and #stigma are preventing young and culturally diverse Australians from testing for #COVID-19. @AlisaPedrana discusses the findings of the @BurnetInstitute @TheDohertyInst #OptimiseStudy with @PatsKarvelas from 48m 40s @CrabbBrendan @VictorianCHO https://t.co/5UMxuL9eVp

Shame, stigma barriers to COVID-19 testing for young and culturally diverse, #OptimiseStudy found. @AlisaPedrana said 93% of cohort did not get tested at least once in follow-up despite symptoms. @euan_wallace @VicGovDH More: https://t.co/8VKi4dF6WM. https://t.co/3Tbe3PHyqe

Great chatting with @LaTrioli yesterday about the shame and #stigma people fear when getting tested for #COVID. Getting a test should be like going to the #GP for any other test – you shouldn’t be fearful when doing the right thing. #OptimiseStudy @BurnetInstitute

Outstanding work examining mortality trends on Ontario by our very own rising star, Emma Buajitti! @theAPHEO @UofT_dlsph #OPTIMISEstudy
