The Australian federal government has removed some Covid-19 restrictions, such as the requirement for close contact cases to quarantine but Covid-19 cases are still increasing and experts are advocating increasing the number of booster recipients.


While the Australian Federal Government has suspended quarantine measures and Covid-19 testing, health experts warn that the virus is still on the rise and needs to be taken seriously.
