Chief Medical Officer Professor Paul Kelly says there have been 62 days of no community transmission which leads to “Australia being open” and has announced more than 1.5 million vaccines have been distributed.

Professor Kelly said there has been nine consecutive days of no community transmission in Australia, which is in stark contrast to the rest of the world where there 679,000 cases in the past 24 hours as well as 11,000 deaths. “What does that lead to, Australia being open,” he said.

“As of today, Victoria is open to every other state, WA still has some restrictions in relation to Queensland but by next week, assuming everything stays as it is now, they will be open”. Commenting on the vaccine rollout, Professor Kelly said 1,578,302 vaccines were distributed around Australia as of Sunday including 470,000 in primary care and 142,000 in aged care.
