Health Minister Greg Hunt says the government’s decisions will continue to save and protect lives as the Omicron variant spreads.

He said around 92.5 per cent of Australians 16 and over have had one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, 87 per cent have had two doses and “very significantly” as of today, there are 99 per cent of Australians 60 and over vaccinated.

“Those who are most vulnerable are most protected - that is a level to which the whole world would aspire,” he said.

He said the government decided immediately to stop flights from southern Africa, to make sure there was quarantine in place, and to work with the states to make sure the 72-hour isolation provision was in place.

“These are the actions that have protected Australia, are protecting Australia, will continue to protect Australia and will save lives and protect lives.”
