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.
Many Australians now rely on the accuracy of the Rapid Antigen Test to return to their workplace. However, some Epidemiologists warn against relying too much on RAT because of its accuracy issues.
And Covid-19 symptoms must always be taken more seriously than a positive RAT test result, and symptomatic people should remain quarantined instead of being allowed to return to their workplaces.
