1. (SBU) The following is the latest SITREP covering
Australia's response to the H1N1 outbreak.
2. (SBU) Government Response: The GOA has not altered their
response posture since 17 June, but confirms that all
jurisdictions are now compliant with the PROTECT phase of the
Australian national pandemic response plan. The Department
of Health and Aging continues to monitor the situation, and
increasing case numbers and deaths as Australia moves through
its seasonal influenza phase have kept H1N1 on the front
burner as a public health issue. Australian medical
authorities have noted that H1N1 appears to have supplanted
seasonal influenza strains. Commonwealth Chief Medical
Officer Jim Bishop confirmed to econoff on July 10 that H1N1
remains an "all hands on deck" issue for federal and state
health officials.
3. (SBU) Case Count: Since the outbreak of H1N1, Australia
has confirmed a total of 7933 cases. As of July 10, there
are 18 total fatalities in Australia. 21 suspect cases are
still being investigated.
4. (SBU) Post Actions: Post continues to monitor the H1N1
situation in Australia.
5. (SBU) Consular Issues: The Sydney ACS section received one
call from a U.S. citizen asking about how to determine if the
individual had been infected on July 9, and referred the
individual to Australian health resources.
