Troops deployed to Queensland border to counter 'real and present' threat of NSW outbreak

Essential workers have been defined as someone who is required to provide "time-critical services in Queensland that are needed in Queensland and cannot be obtained in Queensland" according to Queensland Health.

Dr Young said she had contacted the Premier's Department to work with the directors-general of other departments on the assessment. "They understand them. So for agriculture, for telecommunication, for all of those areas; my own director general Dr [John] Wakefield is going through it for health.Dr Young said she would like to see the numbers going over the border to "down to zero"."We are now going through just to make sure that every single person coming across that border is genuinely necessary to the functioning of Queensland.

Farmers, truckies call for rapid antigen tests to fix NSW border bottleneckQueensland's freight and agriculture industries are pushing for faster tests in a bid to cut out costly delays on the border. Hmmm rapid antigens are ok for Europe, USA and Israel but not for oz ? There must be some interests somewhere. They say follow the money to get the answer. except in the UK they are finding 50% of positive cases where recording false negatives on self administered RA tests no what needs to happen is NSW needs to provide medi hotels to essential workers & break chain of transmission & stop killing ppl to encourage vaccination 80% of the people who contract covid their immune system kills the virus and they are never aware they have covid unless they develop a runnny nose and go and take a covid test. How on earth can they control that. A antigen test would be great to find who's had covid.
