Chief Medical Officer Professor Paul Kelly has denied the government has “lost track” of COVID-19 transmission, saying the virus is being monitored like any other infectious disease.

Epidemiologist Professor Adrian Esterman has claimed it is now difficult to gain an accurate national picture of infection waves because of the Federal Government’s “absolutely useless” COVID-19 website.
