COVID-19 Protection Framework
Factors for considering a shift between levels
Factors for considering a shift between levels are:
- vaccination coverage
- capacity of the health and disability system
- testing
- contact tracing and case management capacity
- the transmission of COVID-19 within the community, including its impact on key populations.
Localised lockdowns
Localised lockdowns will be used as part of the public health response in the new framework across all levels, and there may still be a need to use wider lockdowns (similar to the measures in Alert Level 3 or 4).
