Explained: Australia’s plan to tackle Ebola – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation).
The risk of Ebola spreading to Australia is considered low but everywhere from airports to hospitals a wide range of measures are in place to further minimise the risk and plan for a potential outbreak.
The Australian Medical Association has raised questions about the official response, saying it has been chaotic and secretive.
States and territories have their own plans to deal with potential cases but an Ebola tsar has been appointed to oversee Australia’s response and the federal Health Department released national guidelines for public health units to combat the virus.
