Australia braces for Covid-19 wave as new strains surge

SYDNEY - Australia is facing a fresh Covid-19 outbreak from new strains that are surging across the country just as the summer holidays are set to give a much-needed boost to the tourism and hospitality sectors.

“All indications are that this is the start of a new Covid-19 wave in Australia,” he said in a statement. “This was to be expected and will be part of living with Covid-19 into the future.” “The fourth wave that we have been expecting, now, we believe, has arrived,” Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk told reporters. “No one should be alarmed. We have been living with this virus for a long time, and Queenslanders know what to do.”

But the outbreak comes just as the country had all but moved on from Covid-19. It began removing restrictions from late last year, after imposing one of the strictest lockdowns during the peak of the epidemic.
