Mr Morrison said someone who is a close contact in these sectors only has to record a negative rapid antigen test before being allowed to head straight back to work. “That also will include those who work at service stations to ensure that they can continue to be staffed and people can get access to those services,” he said.
“We will also be extending it to, if it hasn’t already been done and in many cases it has, it will cover all health welfare care and support, emergency services, which includes law enforcement, correctional services, energy resources and water and waste management, food, beverage and other critical good supplies.“Telecommunication, data, broadcasting and media, and it will also extend to education and childcare.
