National cabinet changes isolation rules again
National cabinet has already amended its new COVID-19 rules, further relaxing testing arrangements by removing the requirement for confirmed cases in isolation to do a rapid antigen test on the sixth day after being exposed.
The change has been made less than 24 hours after the rules were announced following a snap national cabinet meeting on Thursday.
It means people who have had COVID-19 but do not have symptoms no longer have to return a negative test before they end their seven-day isolation period.
The federal government says confirmed cases with symptoms should remain in isolation, while anyone with symptoms should still have a PCR test.
