ABSTRACT
Since the emergence of the Omicron variant in Australia in late 2021 there have been over 5.47 million cases and 4993 deaths, disproportionately impacting on people with social and structural disadvantage. However there has been increasing reluctance by governments to intervene to reduce the impact of COVID-19 transmission and its consequences. This commentary article provides a perspective on the support and guidance required to mitigate individuals and communities risk by using a harm reduction approach to highlight strategies that can reduce COVID-19 transmission and infection.
