Are We Ready To Scrap Covid Isolation?

Last week, the Federal Government announced some changes to Covid restrictions.

But a drop to 5 days of Covid isolation wasn't far enough for some, with calls to scrap iso altogether and get back to pre-pandemic normal.

Today The Quicky team explores what that looks like, with people who live in and who have visited a country where pretty much all Covid restrictions - including isolation - have been scrapped, and whether everyone is actually OK.
