Each of Australia’s states and territories will follow their own back-to-plans rather than a nationally-consistent approach that Prime Minister Scott Morrison had sought prior to the National Cabinet meeting on Thursday.

“Operational plans for the return to schools will be being announced individually by each jurisdiction over the course of the next few days and some will make their announcements, indeed, today,” Morrison told reporters in Canberra.
