NSW will make a major change to Covid testing, while also bringing back a crucial rule designed to stop the virus spreading.

A massive surge in the virus fuelled by the Omicron variant has sent people scrambling ahead of Christmas in the hopes of testing negative before celebrating with family.

Millions of rapid testing kits will also be made available at pharmacies, GP clinics, other sites and delivered directly to homes for free. “This will also help people monitor their own symptoms and go about their daily activities in a responsible manner helping protect their themselves, their families and the community.”

While Prime Minister Scott Morrison said states could decide on mandating masks, he told Australians to “just wear one”.“Think of Christmas Day when you’re going to see elderly relatives, and wear a mask – it’s pretty simple.”

Its a massive change, QR codes infringe the freedom of so many people. How can you beat an icac investigation if everyone knows who you lunch with

Not adhering to any of them I'm way over it

Get outdoors otherwise mask mask mask. All you need is 20% of hospital staff getting infected and qurantine , it's game over for the hospital

Now just bring back masks and we should see a slowing of the virus

State travel testing requirements waste of resources if 90% vaccination rate and cross contamination with those testing due to symptoms ?

Horse gate bolted etc

Get vaccinated

This reeks of an erratic straw clutcher 🦠🤡💩

So with 4000+ cases a day, the QR check ins are going to tell us the obvious. You went to Woolies 4 days ago at the same time as a Covid positive person, 50/50 chance they weren't wearing a mask..... Then you'll want to cancel the unvaxed kids holiday bookings. Put a mask on it.

I like this guy...all about common sense. Wear a mask if U need one dopes, don't hold a gun to everyone else's heads

What about Masks ?, Checkins not enough . You have put the responsibility back on NSW citizens . Don’t listen to Scomo

Little too late ....too many I know getting alerts and that's with no QR for the past 7 days (alerts to go home)....businesses are struggling greatly with staff as it is dom ...good move to save economy? Doms inexperience and flawed approach backfired.

Just once I would like this person to have a real scientist /medical expert stand up and speak to us on tv, he has faffed about causing confusion, making every decision political, doing as his masters tell him. This is of no use to the public, he's not a leader's bootlace.
