GPs welcome online reporting for positive COVID-19 cases
Melbourne-based Dr Mukesh Haikerwal says the state's move to a digital reporting format is a vast improvement on phone reporting
GPs in Victoria no longer have to put up with long waits on the phone to report positive COVID-19 cases, with the introduction of an online notification form.
Melbourne GP Dr Mukesh Haikerwal has welcomed the overhaul as a significant time saver.
But he is concerned the site has been set up without provenance or authentication systems in place.
Introduced last week, GPs now can notify the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services of positive COVID-19 cases through an online form or telephone.
