Australian PM tests positive for COVID
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he had tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday afternoon and would work from home while isolating. In October, Australia ended mandatory home quarantine for COVID-infected people. "I encourage anyone who is unwell to test and to take any extra precautions to keep their families and neighbors well," Albanese said in a statement.

Albanese is due to make a two-day trip to Papua New Guinea on Dec 12-13. It is the second COVID infection for Albanese, who was sidelined for some of the federal election campaign earlier this year after a positive test. Albanese's Labor Party won power at the election.
