PM and National Cabinet 'should give us a guide to lifting of restrictions' | Sky News AustraliaSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says given the flattening coronavirus curve around the country, the National Cabinet and Prime Minister Morrison should give 'us a guide as to when some of these onerous restrictions' will lift.\n\nThere were only 44 new cases of COVID-19 across Australia on Monday, with just six announced in NSW and zero announced in Queensland. \n\n'I just don't see ... that National Cabinet tomorrow and the prime minister shouldn't be giving us a guide as to when some of these onerous restrictions will come off,' Mr Clennell told Sky News. \n\n'You'd have to think in places like the ACT and Western Australia and Queensland, where there have been far fewer cases, South Australia for that matter, it's about time to lift some of these restrictions'. \n\n'This is doing enormous damage to the economy and therefore people's lives'. \n\nMr Clennell also said 'a rostering system' is also being proposed as a means of allowing students in NSW to get back into the classroom, with some students going in on certain and separate days from others in a bid to stem the threat of spreading the disease. \n\nImage: Destination NSW
