Australia is racing to vaccinate its population ahead of a huge shift in its pandemic strategy.
Australia has changed its Covid strategy: it's time to leave lockdowns and "come out of the cave", Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said.
The Delta variant upended Australia's playbook. In June, it took hold in Sydney before spreading to Melbourne and Canberra. "This groundhog day has to end, and it will end when we start getting to 70% and 80%," Mr Morrison said last week. "The plan that is proposed is actually very thoughtful and careful," says Prof Ivo Mueller, a population health and immunity expert from the University of Melbourne.
"At 80% double dosage, we anticipate allowing our citizens to access international travel and also to welcoming home Australians through Sydney Airport," Ms Berejiklian said this week. It was only this week that Australia recorded its 1,000th Covid death, the last OECD nation to do so.More than 90% of Australia's cases have occurred around Sydney and Melbourne. But six of Australia's eight states and territories have seen little of the virus at all.
