Health advice on reducing the isolation period for people who test positive for COVID-19 will be presented to the prime minister and state leaders on Wednesday.
A proposal to shorten the isolation period from seven to five days will be debated when Prime Minister Anthony Albanese meets the premiers and chief ministers for national cabinet in Sydney.
NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet has backed the lowering, while Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews says the time is right for fresh advice on isolation measures.
