Albanese received his fourth vaccination at a Sydney pharmacy in July before he travelled to the Pacific Leaders’ Forum. He was criticised at the time for not wearing a mask while getting his dose, but soon after required all staffers to wear masks in parliament during the worst of the winter wave.
Albanese went to Sydney after parliament rose for the year on Thursday morning. He visited the Whitlam family home in Cabramatta at 11.30am or a ceremony to declare it a national heritage asset before hosting the Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin at Kirribilli House in the afternoon for a bilateral discussion about security in the region.On Saturday, he went to Renmark in South Australia with Premier Peter Malinauskas to inspect flood levee banks on the Murray River before returning to Sydney.
The prime minister’s latest COVID diagnosis comes amid the latest surge of the virus, driven by a slew of Omicron variants. Cases have more than doubled in Victoria and NSW since the start of November, and on Friday December 1, cases had inreased 20 per cent across Australia in one week.
