My question is to the Minister for Health and Aged Care. Repeated infections of COVID-19 tend to be more severe and carry a high risk of persistent symptoms for as long as six months, as well as an increased risk of hospitalisation and death. There's increasing risk of cumulative neurological and cardiovascular disease from repeated infections of COVID-19. COVID-19 infections in this country are at a record high and increasing. Can the minister please explain how he proposes to manage the oncoming national significant burden of disability and chronic illness from repeated infection of COVID-19?
