Governments and medical experts have agreed to throw more resources at stemming the high rate of coronavirus infections among doctors and healthcare workers.

Victoria alone has seen almost 3300 cases of COVID-19 in healthcare workers, with 354 currently active, while NSW and Queensland continue to battle to contain clusters linked to hospitals.

The plan will involve two national expert groups working more closely to review the latest evidence on infection prevention and control.

There will be an expansion of national surveillance of healthcare worker infection to get a better idea of the type of workers being impacted and why it is happening.
