1. A lot of discussion about the need to balance the economy and also public health in decision making.

Public health consultants understand this very well.
A poor economy is bad for health.
But an uncontrolled epidemic is also bad for an economy.

2. Lack of control of infections dents consumer confidence. People don& #39;t trust the businesses they attend. Outbreaks based in workplaces harms staff, increases absenteeism and damages corporate image.

3. In the past week I& #39;ve looked at the outbreaks in workplaces iny region.
I& #39;ve written a letter describing the things businesses should do to reduce the risk to their staff and the public.
I hope to send this out this week.

4. It is possible to stop an outbreak in its tracks and several factors allow this to happen.

We can get back to a new way of living that minimises risk.

I want people to feel hopeful, this is a constructive mindset.
