Saibai island in the Torres Strait is so close to Papua New Guinea that you can see the country and swim to it. So there is a risk that the pandemic currently ravaging PNG could jump across the Torres Strait islands to the mainland.
Many medical cases from PNG and the Islands end up in Queensland Hospitals, so vaccination has become urgent.
