No more hotel quarantine despite ‘third omicron case’

OSTN Staff

Mr Perrottet said NSW was still on track for a “very bright summer”.“The pandemic is not over but we need to continue to open up our state, open up our people back to the world,” he said,“Over the last 24 hours we had 141 people from those nine affected countries come in, there are two possibly three positive cases,” Mr Perrottet said.He said all 141 people were isolating in health quarantine facilities, but urged locals not to panic as the state and federal governments would have a “co-ordinated approach.”He said the December 1 date to allow international students and migrant workers in the country would likely be changed and flagged neighbouring state Victoria’s new protocol of 72 hours quarantine for all overseas travellers as “the right approach”.“We continue to take a precautionary approach … we’re having a national cabinet in relation to developments I think tomorrow or later today,” Mr Perrottet said.“We need to learn to live alongside the variants as well.” Mr Perrottet said there were no current plans to restart hotel quarantine arrangements. He said he wants a “one nation” approach to the virus and not states operating as “a set of penal colonies”.“We will work closely together with the states can have a harmonious aligned response,” he said.NAT – Stay Informed – Social Media
