Source:Urgent health meetings continue to take place on which business sectors will have COVID-isolation rules relaxed after rapidly rising virus numbers led to widespread supply chain issues.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison is set on Wednesday to meet with the National Coordinating Mechanism and ministers to discuss possible changes to the AHPPC advice.Staff in essential services would be able to continue to work after an exposure provided they have a negative rapid test, with regular rapid testing afterwards.
She said many appointments were being cancelled at clinics across the country due to the vaccines not arriving on time.
Only because the vaccine doesn't work!

They were urgent talks about three weeks ago; they are now crisis talks.
SBS No workers representative at this meeting of the minds. We really don't matter to them. It's only about money.
Let the dead work.
Plug hole in bucket or fill bucket faster?
Globalbiosec and the answer the feds seem to be favouring is 'infect more people who work in the supply chain'
They’ll just redefine how long Covid is infectious. Was 10 days, then 7…. Absolutely nonsensical and will exacerbate the problem by increasing spread of disease.
Yes, Everything has become Urgent. Thanks to Morrison & his Mates Incompetence!!
Urgent talks. Yeah - right !!!
These companies have had over 2 years to modernize their operations to be less reliant on people and more reliant on machines. I hope they get squashed out of existence by Amazon generation companies.
So finding ways that will put workers at greater risk so the rich can get richer.
'[Man-made] FAMINES have been due to POOR DISTRIBUTION of existing FOOD SUPPLIES, either because of inequities that result in a lack of purchasing power... or because of POLITICAL INTERFERENCE with normal distribution or relief movements of FOOD...'
Noting shortage of food and RATs, is there any chance Scott's organised for his team to receive 20 free snags, or any other daily items, along with the 20 free RATs they now get each week? Does Scott's team pay for anything or do we just cover their lifestyle?
Yep, after most of the staff is sacked under there guise of Covid...Shame!
Get Scummo down there packing shelves. See how long he lasts working with COVID!
About time to wake up and be realistic and use some commonsense
Its been the same dance since the start of the pandemic, the federal government gets advised on whats going to happen. They ignore it, it happens, and then scramble to do something; while pretending they were doing something all along. The ones who get hit most by this is us.
Allow me to amend that headline to sound like journalism. 'Ministers are meeting with essential business sectors on possible COVID-19 isolation changes to help solve supply chain shortages due to their continued lack of foresight and planning.' Fixed.
Major supermarkets happily stood by allowing panic buyers to strip the shelves bare while rubbing their greedy hands together - Once the shelves have been picked clean they finally introduce “limiting “ - So now you can buy 2 of nothing
So by getting more people incapacitated through increasing the infection rates, we’ll get more people working? Brilliant logic LiberalAus
