Morrison also issued a warning to states that have not had outbreaks of the Delta variant, urging them to boost inoculation rates to avoid strict lockdowns.
When you hit those vaccination rates, you can open with certainty again, and you can open safely with certainty again, and you can stay open."

Morrison on Thursday said that 81 percent of Australians aged 16 and over have had at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose and 59.3 percent are fully inoculated. 7 (Xinhua) - Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has welcomed Australians "beginning to get their lives back" after extended coronavirus lockdowns.
