Almost 5000 Victorians could die from Covid-19 in just 12 months if the virus is “left to run” without a public health response, new modelling has revealed.
Experts say the research, developed by the Burnet Institute, has highlighted the need to preserve public health measures as a key line of defence against coronavirus even with high vaccination coverage.
The COVASIM mathematical modelling also suggested Australia was unlikely to achieve herd immunity with current levels of vaccine hesitancy and the higher infectiousness of new variants.
Burnet Institute head of modelling Nick Scott said public health measures, such as lockdowns, social distancing, mask wearing and the use of QR codes, would need to continue to prevent deaths.
“Without herd immunity, if we stopped taking a public health approach and allowed the virus to spread, it is likely to infect a large proportion of the community,” Dr Scott said.
“Those who are vaccinated would be protected and may only experience mild or no symptoms.
