The loads are pretty quiet at the moment, but when these normalise and you start travelling on a WB with 300 plus people, you can almost guarantee someone will have COVID on board.
We get an email if we had a pax test positive on arrival. It tells you that a pax tested positive and if you have any symptoms get tested. We have not needed to self isolated on returning home for over a year. At outstations we follow whatever the state rule is. Be it not allowed to leave the room in some, to being able to leave the hotel in others.
Hopefully Oz is learning from how the rest of the world opened, and adjust rules appropriately.
Loads have been high where quarentine is not an issue. People want to travel.
