Mandatory COVID-19 isolation rules will be scrapped across the country on October 14.

The Prime Minister this morning said the decision was made because it’s no longer suitable to keep COVID-19 settings at “emergency levels”.

But infectious diseases expert Paul Griffin told Bill McDonald he would’ve liked to see the rules maintained “at least for a little bit longer”.

“As we look to see cases increase on the other side of the world, I think the message that it sends by getting rid of those rules is that the pandemic may be over.”

Press PLAY below to hear why Dr Griffin says we’re not out of the woods yet 

Isolation will still be required for aged care and hospital workers.
