Global pandemic expert supporting Noosa business operators

Former WHO pandemic expert, Dr Ian Norton, who was seconded to resolve the Ruby Princess is continuing to support Noosa businesses in managing the challenges surrounding COVID-19 to safeguard our community.

The Hastings Street Association and Noosaville Association who earlier this year took the proactive step to appoint Dr Norton given his practical experience in dealing with COVID-19.

Following the industry sessions with the retail, catering, and accommodation sectors in June, this on-going engagement for a COVID industry event on Wednesday 22 July at the Sofitel Noosa, provides further insight, discussions and learnings.

It is vital for the Noosa community, as a favourable tourist destination, to have the business owners work collaboratively to be prepared, manage and respond to the challenges of COVID.

President of Hastings Street Association Emma Hull said, “We know Noosa is a favourable tourist destination, and as business owners, it is essential we are proactive and have methods in place to safeguard our staff and our community”.

“We understand our businesses need support, and through the proactive approach by Noosa’s Business Associations we have invested in expertise to the benefit of all operators to work together to help keep our community safe.”
