The number of reported COVID-19 cases in Australia has fallen to the lowest level in more than eight months.
There were 5841 new infections announced across the country on Sunday.
The last time the nation's daily figure was as low was just before Christmas last year when there were 5710 new cases.
The country recorded 53 more coronavirus-related fatalities at the weekend, bringing the national death toll to 14,067.
But this did not include figures from Queensland and the Northern Territory, which have stopped reporting weekend statistics.
NSW and Victoria reported a further six deaths in total on Monday morning and, along with Tasmania, another 4150 infections, with data still to come from other states and territories.
Meanwhile, the minimum isolation period for COVID-19 cases is to be cut from seven to five days from Friday.
The change applies only to people who have no symptoms, with workers in high-risk settings such as disability care, aged care and home care also excluded.
Pandemic leave payments will also shorten to reflect the new rules.
Masks will also no longer be mandatory on domestic flights from Friday.
The vice-president of AMA Queensland said at the weekend Australia's response to the pandemic was shifting.
"I think we are moving towards that stage of that personal responsibility," Dr Nick Yim told ABC Radio.
"It's not just COVID that's circulating amongst our community. We still have the common cold, we still have influenza, so a lot of respiratory viruses.
"If people are unwell, please don't send your children to school, please don't go to work unwell. You don't want to be infecting your colleagues and other students in schools.
"At the same time, if people haven't had their COVID booster, please get that booster."
