Home quarantine for some by second half of the year, PM says

Prime Minister Scott Morrison says home quarantine for vaccinated return travellers may become a reality from the second half of the year as he prepares for a meeting with state and territory leaders that will scrutinise the vaccine rollout and pandemic control measures.

“I know some states are very interested in supporting larger vaccination programs now for people aged 50 to 70 and we are very open to discussing that with the states and looking forward to that discussion tomorrow,” he said.“What I stress as that process would be to supplement in addition to what the GPs are doing.”

Australia was not in a rush to reopen borders, the Prime Minister said, but in a few months he expects vaccinated people who are allowed to travel for essential purposes to be able to return without a stay in hotel quarantine.

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey I certainly hope so i would love to be anle to return to visit my family

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey Another brainless announcement. How about he fix the mess he’s made of our vaccination program. He needs to procure a safe effective vaccine for starters.

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey tell him he’s dreamin’...

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey Go get us some vaccines mate

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey Why not now? What difference will a few months make?

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey There are safe ways to home quarantine, countries in Asia are utilising trackers & front door cameras. 10’s of thousands of us Australians separated indefinitely from partners/spouses/young kids overseas have had our lives on hold for over a year now.. LoveIsNotTourism

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey Morrison rushing to secure vaccines for Australia

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey No one should be listening to ScottyFromDamageControl anymore. Its all simply bullshit

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey Oh yeah? How did that work out for you ScottyFromMarketting?

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey Something makes me think that Scotty is going to stuff this up too. Australians would have benefited from his father calling him ‘useless’ sometimes.

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey How good is the Pfizer vaccine?

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey I think we should accept that what we know about Covid changes every few weeks,sometimes for the worse. Strict regional, robust quarantine is the long term answer. International tourism will probably never return to preCovid levels ever.We can still enjoy long healthy living in🇦🇺

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey And that’s been proven to work so well so far hasn’t it, plenty of breaches of the ‘home isolation’ going out and spreading the virus. How will it be monitored? Gives duttons blackshirts something to do I guess...

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey Here’s a better idea, let them stay with him at his place.

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey Morrison has no idea Just glad we have State premier’s who have protected the public

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey But the commonwealth has done mothing on quarantine so far, dumping all responsibility on the states. So where does this brainfart come from?

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey As the article makes clear, Scotty wants to use QT hotels to bring in thousands of foreign workers like prior to 2020. Why? Well, developers/landlords/ investors are screaming to Scotty for help because their apartments are unoccupied/losing value. Unemployed locals? Who gaf?

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey HAHAHAHAHA Congrats to average Australian voter. You're not stupid, no, its everyone else.

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey Up to 98% of Britons forced to isolate for two weeks for no reason. The scale of COVID testing problems revealed.

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey Also what if you live in an apartment?what if you have neighbours close to you? What if you need a plumber in an emergency....will the home be blacklisted with something saying a corona virus home dweller.... What woukd happen to the street neighbours will they be happy

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey 'Look, over there, overseas travel - and if it doesn't happen it will the fault of the Premiers'

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey Is he just going to sacrifice the population who hasn’t been able to get vaccinated

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey Wtf So it wasn't dangerous enough that they will keep travellers all clustered in the city....now they want a decentralised system where it will be far more difficult to know who gets in and who goes out of a home? Like what's the rationale

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey I wanna see the countries which agree to allow vaccinated Aussies, when Australian borders will be closed to vaccinated nationals from those countries. InternationalStudentsAustralia LetUsBackToAus

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey Diversion from Holgate Diversion from Holgate Diversion from Holgate Diversion from Holgate Diversion from Holgate Diversion from Holgate Diversion from Holgate Diversion from Holgate Diversion from Holgate Diversion from Holgate Diversion from Holgate Diversion from Holgate

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey This is highly dangerous ScottMorrisonMP Vaccination does not necessarily induce sterilising immunity - you risk non-compliant return travellers infecting Australians who won’t even have received their first shot later this year. Irresponsible.

rachelclun sumeyyailanbey Make this possible from the beginning of May 2021. Why ScottMorrisonMP wants to postpone on border issue. You are sleeping well with your family in your home, and you can't see beyond that, right?

'Safety prioritised' as PM considers 'home quarantine' for overseas travellers | Sky News AustraliaHome Affairs Minister Karen Andrews has discussed the controversial issue of reopening the international borders with Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. \n\nLast week Health Minister Greg Hunt suggested there would still be the need for quarantine measures for returning overseas Australians even with a fully vaccinated public.\n\n“Vaccination alone is no guarantee that you can open up,” he said.\n\nQuestioned today about when the international borders might be opened Ms Andrews said the Morrison government was focused on safety and would “be led by the health advice”.\n\nMs Andrews noted quarantine measures had been successful to date in keeping the virus out of Australia.\n\n“The prime minister has made it very clear that home quarantine is something that should be considered”.\n\n“Yes, the government is absolutely on track working towards reopening of those borders, but we need to make sure that we do it in manner that keeps all Australians secure.' \n karenandrewsmp aclennell Allowing people to travel overseas and return and home quarantine if they are vaccinated is a very bad and premature idea. Vaccination doesn't stop people catching Covid or transmitting Covid. It offers personal protection only. WHO agrees So what is the point? Foolish idea karenandrewsmp aclennell Typical crappy political spin of hiding behind the medics who in turn are bedwetters. karenandrewsmp aclennell There is “lead by” and then “hiding behind” advice - gov could relax quarantine and strike a reasonable middle ground, however while people lose their minds over any cases it is not going to happen
