Shifting gear: three steps to safely, quickly and permanently reopen Australia in 2021
02 March 2021
As Australia embarks on its biggest ever peacetime operation to roll-out vaccines for COVID-19, our national approach to suppressing and containing the virus needs to evolve.
The Business Council has released Shifting gear: three steps to safely, quickly and permanently reopen Australia to provide three clear steps to reopen the country and let people get on with their lives:
- Step one: Safely reopen Australia using best practice to drive national consistency, aligned with the vaccine roll-out
- Step two: Gradually change the public health narrative
- Step three: Continue targeted support for businesses that remain affected by government restrictions and/or international border closures
