        Yesterday the government shared more information about its three-phase response to Omicron. In a nutshell, case numbers are expected to grow so quickly that our health system and supply chains will be put under pressure. At different points in the outbreak, there will be different rules around testing and self-isolation, which should help to relieve that pressure.
