Queensland Health has wound up its QTrace Central Contact Tracing Hub in another sign Australia is moving forward from the coronavirus pandemic.
The QTrace Central Contact Tracing Hub - which included hundreds of contributors from many government agencies - was established over a year ago to help stop the spread of the virus.
“QTrace supported the efforts of public health units to keep COVID-19 numbers low until over 90 per cent of the state’s adult population was vaccinated and we could lift restrictions." QTrace was launched on January 13 2021 and has traced more than 15,000 contacts and followed up more than 10,000 COVID-19 cases.
