Australia vows to ‘push through’ Omicron wave as infections cross 1 mln – The Peninsula Qatar
SYDNEY: Australia must "push through" the fast-moving Omicron outbreak, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Monday, as infections surpassed 1 million, more than half in the past week alone, throwing a strain on hospitals and supply chains.
