We should not be asking US travellers for pre-departure COVID tests either.
It no longer makes sense to try to avoid COVID infection at all costs. Vaccination will protect all but a small proportion of the community from serious illness.
Vaccines should be deployed where the risk is greatest. Right now,that’s in Sydney. But other state leaders seem unmoved by the unfolding crisis in NSW.
The risk profile of vaccinated people is different and governments should be taking that into account.
