Australia's most populous state, New South Wales, has recorded more than 10,000 Covid cases in just five days.
Another 2,566 cases were reported on Sunday, days after mandates were lifted for masks and QR code check-ins at shops and restaurants.
But despite concerns from health experts and some members of his own cabinet, State Premier Dominic Perrottet is resisting calls to re-instate more restrictions.
In a video posted on social media, Mr Perrottet said they had to "learn to live alongside the virus", adding: "The best way of doing that is to continue the strong vaccination rate."
Nationwide, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has steered clear from talk of lockdowns, stressing that hospitals had been preparing for any surge in admissions.
"The case numbers are not translating into immediate pressure, but that's not to say it won't,” he said.
"We're ready for this. We planned to live with the virus, we didn't plan to remain shut in," the prime minister added.
