From Morning Report, 8:37 am on 7 July 2022

Immigration Minister Michael Wood is meeting with his Australian counterpart this week at the Australia New Zealand Leadership Forum - where Covid in Nauru is expected to be high on the agenda.

Australia is under pressure to evacuate the remaining refugees and asylum seekers from the island nation.

Since Covid arrived in Nauru in June, nearly half of the population has come down with it.
