Food shortages will continue unless governments can overcome the shortfall in rapid antigen tests, industry warns, as COVID-19 safeguards are eased to get close contacts back into the critical supply chain workforce | micksfoley

Retails stores are running short of some groceries, with the biggest impacts being felt in NSW, Victoria and Queensland where high rates of infection are decimating the supply chain workforce and preventing food from getting onto shelves.James Brickwood

High-risk contacts, who were exposed to an infected person in a household setting or in a workplace for at least 15 minutes without masks, may continue to work if they don’t have COVID-19 symptoms and return a negative rapid antigen test on day one. They would then have a rapid test every second day until day six. Symptomatic workers must isolate for seven days from their last COVID-19 contact.

Australian Industry Group chief Innes Willox said the community benefited from keeping food businesses open and the costs of testing should be shared.

micksfoley Let’s just focus on the tanks. They’re more fun.

micksfoley A lot a stress on workers to be told to work if they can’t be tested . Not fair

micksfoley Supermarket shelves are empty across Australia and Scott Morrison decides to play political tennis. The man has no shame.

micksfoley No final decision on Djokovic tonight as Scotty is working the night fill shift at Woolworths.

micksfoley Sorry, off topic. Please read my account before insulting me. I am a pensioner in Russia. I'm asking out of need. I feed stray cats - I can't leave them (I tried, I can't), the pension is small ($250 month), maybe you can help me? maybe cat food? maybe a retweet? Thanks Cats
