MELBOURNE, Dec 18 — Australia reported record high new Covid-19 cases today for a third day, with outbreaks growing in the two most populous states, however Prime Minister Scott Morrison continued to downplay the risks as the country eases pandemic curbs.
Morrison reiterated today the focus should be on hospitalisations and cases in intensive care and on ventilators rather than actual case numbers as the country learns to live with the virus. “I wouldn’t agree that Australians are complacent about it. We take this incredibly seriously. It’s best addressed with a calm head and a clear plan,” Morrison said at a media conference in Hobart in the island state of Tasmania.
In the latest easing of pandemic curbs, fully vaccinated international travellers arriving in Sydney and Melbourne will no longer need to isolate for 72 hours, the governments of New South Wales and Victoria said yesterday.
