Scott Morrison tested for Covid-19 after attending graduation at International Convention Centre

The Prime Minister, who will fly into Queensland on Wednesday for the first time in months, has been identified as a Covid-19 contact.

Scott Morrison will fly into Queensland on Wednesday despite being identified a casual Covid-19 contact after his visit to a Sydney high school graduation.

The Prime Minister says the reality of “living with Covid” is dealing with the inevitable risk of being considered a casual contact, but that that shouldn’t stop Australians from “getting on with their lives”.

An infected person was one of 1000 who attended the Kincoppal-Rose Bay’s Graduation Gala at the International Convention Centre Darling Harbour on Friday.

The Prime Minister attended and was pictured alongside performers Boys in the Band who said the “entire dance floor had been packed”.

Mr Morrison said he had been tested twice since the event for Covid-19 – both times testing negative – and had not been directed to isolate.

Mr Morrison told 4BC radio on Wednesday morning that he had told President Jai-In of his exposure, but said the Korean party had been “totally relaxed about it”.

“That’s the thing, the world is living with it so we’ve got to live with it,” he said.

“There are simple tools that we have to manage it, and I think you just have got to be careful.

“Of course we’re taking Omicron desperately seriously, we are. But we’re not going backwards.

“We’re going to keep going forwards. The livelihoods of Australians depend on it, and the health of Australians.”

A spokesperson for Mr Morrison said he would need to get another Covid test on Thursday.

“Last night the Prime Minister was deemed a casual contact by NSW Health following attendance at an event last Friday night,” the spokesperson said on Wednesday morning.

“Since the event, the Prime Minister has received two negative PCR tests and as such (he has been) advised he is not required to isolate.

“As per the NSW Health guidelines, the Prime Minister will be tested again on day six.”

Additional advice had been sought by NSW Health and the chief medical officer prior to Mr Morrison’s hosting of Korean President Moon Jae-in at Kirribilli House on Tuesday night.

Mr Morrison will be in Queensland on Wednesday just days after the state opened its borders to Sydney for the first time since August.

The latest scare comes just days after Mr Morrison was advised to monitor for symptoms after attending the Bathurst 1000.

Mr Morrison, along with NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet, were among thousands of attendees linked to the exposure site at Mount Panorama earlier this month.

At the time the event was identified as an exposure site, Mr Perrottet said he was not a close contact, and had instead been asked to monitor for symptoms and get tested should they develop.
