Vertical Transmission

Abstract

I hope that this Vertical Transmission finds you and your families safe and well. At the time of writing, some of you are in parts of Australia with few or no COVID-19 infections, while those of you in Victoria are in Stage 4 lockdown and dealing with the confusion, anxiety and uncertainty of this pandemic. What is clear is that the work of our dedicated epidemiologists, microbiologists, medical scientists, nurses, GPs, hospital clinicians and researchers improves the lives and health of our community, and that approaching a complicated issue from many angles will enable us to find the solutions to carry us through this situation. On behalf of the ASM, I extend our sincere gratitude to all of you.
