CANBERRA, Dec 11 ― Australia must loosen Covid-19 restrictions to bolster its economic recovery, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said today, even as daily infections rose to a six-week high.

Australia is one of the world's most vaccinated countries, with nearly 90 per cent of people over 16 fully inoculated. Still, Australia said it found 1,753 Covid-19 cases in the past 24 hours, up about 3 per cent in the last week and the highest daily total since October 29. “Our economic recovery depends upon it. We have the vaccination rates now at record highs and that has proven to be a vital defence against Covid.”

Australia's A$2 trillion economy was badly damaged by lockdowns in the country's two largest states with gross domestic product falling 1.9 per cent in the third quarter.
