Social distancing decreases the risk of transmission by reducing incidence of contact while\nenhanced hygiene reduces disease transmission, if a contact occurs.[40] Education of the public and enhanced medical\nresources have also been shown to reduce transmission.[40-42]\nThe Australian Governor-General declared a ‘human biosecurity emergency period’ on 18 March 2020 in response to the\nrisks posed by COVID-19.[43] This empowered the Australian Government to make a series of decisions including prohibition\nof cruise ships, travel bans (domestic and international), limiting gatherings to two persons (with exceptions for people of\nthe same household and other select groups), and closing a range of indoor and outdoor public facilities.[44] After peaking in\nAustralia in

As serology is testing\nantibodies and not the presence of the virus, it does not provide clinically useful information as to whether a patient could be\ninfectious.[45] It should not be assumed that the presence of antibodies confers immunity against SARS-CoV-2.[50]\nGiven asymptomatic transmission of SARS-CoV-2,[51] there may be a role for screening for COVID-19 with PCR in asymptomatic\ngroups
