NSW to lead charge on scrapping COVID-19 isolation

to scrap one of the last vestiges of the pandemic ahead of Friday’s national cabinet meeting.

“I believe we need to get to a point where if you’re sick, you stay at home, and if you’re not, you get out and about and enjoy life,” Perrottet said. Spokespeople for other state and territory governments stopped short of suggesting they would support or reject changes to isolation rules, saying only that they would be guided by public health advice.One option likely to be considered by the national cabinet is removing mandatory isolation while maintaining the measure for workers in high-risk settings such as aged care facilities.

Epidemiologist and mathematical biologist Professor James McCaw agreed that any decision concerning lifting mandatory isolation needed to balance public health against wellbeing and socio-economic impacts. Perrottet said he had already discussed the matter with some state counterparts, and consensus would be required before any decision was made.

Can we please vote - Dom 'Free Money for the Catholic Church' out of office Worst State Treasurer in living memory. And and even worse Premier. Only became Premier through LNP back Party room deals. The people of NSW did not vote for this religious zealot to run the state

He’s the absolute worst

Because 'stay home if you are sick' certainly worked to stop Covid from spreading, didn't it? We've already endured two years of the pandemic which will continue without action.

Dan's Dom

Nothing says 'let folks with underlying conditions die' quite as succinctly as this. Around 200 people are dying each week from covid with isolation rules in place. But Perrottet wants to throw more bodies on the sacrificial pyre for the sake of the economy. Cool.

Stop weekly reporting next

NSW once again taking the lead. Other states follow soon.

scraping the federation would be beneficial.........8 governments for 26 million people is expensive

Has Dom_Perrottet advised exactly how many of our State's residents he wants dead from covid; NSWHealth?

Where Dom leads, Dan follows 😄

Is Dom. Is good.

This guy is on a mission to make sure we all get COVID. And if a significant % of the population gets long COVID and cannot work, who cares? He'll leave that to another Premier to sort out.

The most clueless state with the worst health system is leading the charge? Cool. Dom is corrupt. He gave barilaro the job. He knew. He should resign and his god hates him

Creepy DommiP; let it rip; doesn’t matter what happens to the health compromised and the weak and old.

For sure, it’s overrrrrr
