Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said the nation's political leaders want to move to a new phase of living with Covid-19 as though it were the flu, but would consult health experts.
A day after meeting with the national cabinet of state and federal leaders, Morrison told reporters they had discussed moving to “Phase D” of the national pandemic response plan.
“Our airports are open again, international arrivals can come, there are waivers now on quarantine for people returning, so we are pretty much in Phase D,” he said.
Western Australia and the Northern Territory would lag the eastern states by a month in dropping restrictions, he said.
