The Communicable Diseases Network Australia has released National Guidelines for the Prevention, Control and Public Health Management of COVID-19 Outbreaks in Residential Care Facilities. A centralised government-funded pool of appropriately trained staff skilled in both infection prevention and care of the elderly would have been useful to deploy at Newmarch House during the outbreak as many of their staff were required to quarantine. Two other options could be considered if the health care system were to become overwhelmed and rationing required limiting access to hospitals: cohorting to specific COVID-19 facilities and cohorting within the resident's own RACF.	./cache/cord-276879-u39a6nwc.txt	./txt/cord-276879-u39a6nwc.txt
