Scott Morrison is pushing on ahead with campaigning in Queensland after being classified as a casual COVID-19 contact.
The prime minister has returned two negative tests after being deemed a casual contact after an event in Sydney on Friday night.
He is not required to isolate and says it's safe for him to campaign in Queensland as scheduled on Wednesday.
"That's been confirmed by the chief medical officer and Queensland authorities. I've had two PCR tests since then, and that's what living with the virus is," Mr Morrison told Brisbane radio 4BC.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in is not considered a casual contact after a dinner with the prime minister was cleared to go ahead at Sydney's Kirribilli House on Tuesday.
"They were totally relaxed about it," Mr Morrison said of South Korea's attitude to the event.
Mr Morrison will need to get another test six days after his exposure in line with NSW guidelines.
Queensland has six new locally acquired cases stemming from interstate.
The cases are spread across Goondiwindi, Wide Bay, Townsville, Gold Coast and Brisbane's south.
It includes a suspected Omicron case who flew from Newcastle after attending the Argyle House nightclub, the centre of a super-spreader event.
He travelled on Virgin Airlines flight 1105 to Brisbane, then on flight 375 to Townsville, on Monday.
All passengers on those flights were initially ordered to quarantine for 14 days.
But Queensland authorities on Wednesday re-classified everyone, except people sitting within two rows of the infected passenger, as casual contacts.
It means most passengers will only need to isolate until they return one negative test.
Those considered close contacts will still need to quarantine for two weeks.
Meanwhile, new daily infections in NSW jumped to 1360 cases alongside one additional death.
Victoria recorded 1405 new infections and three more deaths.
The ACT reported seven new cases.
Australia is allowing skilled migrants and international students to enter the country after nearly two years of harsh international border restrictions.
It means an estimated 235,000 visa holders, including 133,000 students, are allowed in without needing a travel exemption.
But cruise ships remain locked out after the federal government extended a raft of pandemic biosecurity measures until February 17.
Mr Morrison said the federal government was waiting on clearances from state health authorities around cruise ships.
"It's terribly frustrating," he said.
"The federal government is keen to move on this as soon as we can."
Tasmania has also reopened to fully vaccinated travellers.
Nationally, 89.5 per cent of Australians aged 16 and older are double-dosed.
