Premier Dominic Perrottet says it’s time for New South Wales to go to the “next level” and lead the nation by learning to live with the virus.
“We monitor that situation every single day – yes, there will be challenges – but ultimately where we sit today with the strongest health system in the nation, we are ready.
Mr Perrottet said as COVID is an ongoing living reality the best thing to do is to get vaccinated to keep pressure off the health system. “We have to live in the world as it is and as it is, the best thing we can do is have a high vaccination rate – that would put downward pressure on the health system as we move through this next phase,” he said.
