If that was the case they’d be allowing home quarantine for vaccinated travellers from low case countries (not just planning a trial).
Or they would have recognised that placing arrivals in a hotel room with windows that don’t open and recirculating air is a bad idea. Because it’s an airborne virus….
How many cases resulted from the various Victorian protests last year? Pretty sure it was none.
How many cases resulted from the various “infected persons” travelling on domestic flights? Pretty sure it was none.
The vast majority of cases are from spread between family members at home.
Even most of the initial “fleeting contacts” would probably be prevented by enforcing masks indoors ALL THE TIME, not just when there’s an outbreak.
After all, the risk today, is exactly the same as it was last year in Australia, because of the incredibly low vaccination rates. The risk of spreading the virus is still high.
