I have not seen any clinical trial data on the effectiveness or not of Ivermectin on COVID

However I will note that this is the latest from the FDA
The FDA has received multiple reports of patients who have required medical support and been hospitalized after self-medicating with ivermectin intended for horses.
  • FDA has not approved ivermectin for use in treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans. Ivermectin tablets are approved at very specific doses for some parasitic worms, and there are topical (on the skin) formulations for head lice and skin conditions like rosacea. Ivermectin is not an anti-viral (a drug for treating viruses).
  • Taking large doses of this drug is dangerous and can cause serious harm.
  • If you have a prescription for ivermectin for an FDA-approved use, get it from a legitimate source and take it exactly as prescribed.
  • Never use medications intended for animals on yourself. Ivermectin preparations for animals are very different from those approved for humans.
The EMA has also banned it's use for covid treatment too. Can only be used under strict supervision for testing purposes.

Not sure why other than not enough evidence to support it.

There's a big campaign here in the UK on social media to get it sanctioned.

Some serious nut jobs pushing it tho, plus I don't trust any of the data they are using to push their point.

All seems a bit weird.

 
Hopefully being on the red list will stop further introductions but going to need to keep an eye on the pockets existing in the community and quickly reimpose local restrictions if required as current evidence would suggest it is more easily transmissible.
Too late again though, perhaps...like you say, shame there isn't any indication of how much of it is in the community. I'm also wondering how robust the general (that is, non red list) system is if infected are still getting to the border.
