But the coalition government plans to withhold it, potentially until a second phase of the inquiry (with a new set of questions and commissioners) can be completed in 2026. Many countries have undertaken similar inquiries, for similar reasons, and some of these are starting to report back.

But although the emergency is over and the disease is rapidly becoming endemic, the risk of new variants remains. Covid is still causing a significant health burden. Is there more we could be doing to prevent infections? We lack quality evidence about how effective different interventions are.
