SBS World News spoke with two of the country's leading epidemiologists to find out how, and when, this pandemic will end. And the answer may not be what you expect.
So the question now is - at what point does the pandemic end, and COVID-19 becomes endemic?
Epidemiologists say Australians are now living with many endemic viruses.
More than 100 types of rhino virus – the cause of the common cold. And also dozens of adenoviruses, which can cause diseases such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and conjunctivitis.
With nearly 20 million doses already administered, the transition from pandemic to endemic is drawing closer by the day.
