Hapless holidaymakers, prospective or otherwise, are time and again becoming the main collateral damage of the pandemic and we urgently require a guide to the ever-expanding and dangerous number of lockdown variants.
Sure, COVID-19 is not a laughing matter, but Australia s approach to dealing with it is becoming increasingly laughable.
So here it is. Don t go anywhere without it. In fact, the way things are travelling across Australia, perhaps slip back under the doona and don t go anywhere at all until the pollies sort out the borders.

COVID Continues To Spread Across Australia

Coronavirus continue to emerge across the country, with more states and territories recording cases.
NSW has recorded 22 new local COVID-19 cases, and authorities expect numbers to tail off by the end of the week.
The new cases came from more than 68,000 tests undertaken to 8pm on Tuesday and Premier Gladys Berejiklian said initial fears of a significant escalation in case numbers hadn’t been realised.
Of the 22 cases, 11 were in isolation for the entirety of their infectious period. The tally for the outbreak that began on June 16 is now 171.
The Northern Territory has recorded two new positive cases of COVID-19 as the list of concerning exposure sites grows.
Authorities are concentrating on isolating all gymgoers who attended a specific Zumba class where a positive coronavirus case was present.
Anyone who attended the Zumba class at the REX Centre in Palmerston on Sunday morning between 9am and 9.30am is now under a stay-at-home order and required to isolate for 14 days, regardless of their test results.
