It says it’s aimed at the aviation industry to enable preparation for restart of international travel. Well, prepare to be not very enlightened: a classic example of government advice that leaves the reader with more questions than she/he had before.There are some perplexing references to red and green zones/countries – though according to the PM at his presser on 1 Oct there was going to be no traffic light system. Moreover, the tantalising references to quarantine are hedged with the ‘may include’ language of the National Plan.Trying to be fair, this is the DoH and not DHA/ABF and it’s mostly about IPC protocols. So some of the burning issues are arguably out of scope for DoH. Not quite joined-up government, though, is it? Rather an understatement if I say BARA and the industry will not regard this as adequate to address their critical issues.</blockquote>
