Burnet Institute COVASIM modelling warning of the risks of opening up too quickly has helped to inform the latest reshaping of COVID-19 restrictions by the Victorian Government.
Burnet researchers led by Dr Nick Scott modelled what would happen on September 28 if Victoria eased to the final step on the Roadmap to COVID Normal with restrictions similar to those in place in Victoria in early June, or in New South Wales in September.
The Burnet team found that opening too quickly would result in a 41 percent chance of a third wave of COVID-19 infections within four weeks.
“What the modelling shows is that if we open things all at once when there is a lot of virus still in the community, the risk of a resurgence is high,” Dr Scott said. “These risks are significantly reduced as virus levels decrease.”
“Reopening too soon risks wasting all the sacrifices Victorians have made of the past few months.”
