"Rather than set targets that can get knocked about by every to and fro of international supply chains and other disruptions that can occur, we are just getting on with it," Mr Morrison said.

He said the virus wrote its own rules and governments had to be able to respond quickly to when things changed.

"You don't get to set the agenda," Mr Morrison said.
