Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has outlined Australia’s roadmap out of state and federal CCP virus lockdowns and restrictions after a national cabinet meeting on July 2.

Morrison said state and territory leaders have affirmed a four-phase plan to transition Australia’s national COVID-19 response from its current pre-vaccination settings—which focus on the suppression of community transmission—to post-vaccination settings that focus on the prevention of serious illness, hospitalisation, fatality, and the public health management of other infectious diseases.
