Queensland and WA have started to ease coronavirus restrictions. What are other states doing?

Premier Dan Andrews and the Victorian Government have always had one date in mind when it's come to discussing restrictions in the state — May 11.

"I'm not ruling out anything because I don't know what transmission will look like this week or next week. But I think that the state of emergency going to May 11 is a nice line-up with National Cabinet process for a real look at changing the restrictions that are in place," Mr Sutton said.The situation in Tasmania has been made more difficult by the recent outbreak in the state's north-west, which now has its own specific set of restrictions in place.

The state's more general restrictions were due to end — or at least be revisited — on May 15, but Mr Gutwein has flagged a cautious approach, even when some allowances are made. Chief Minister Andrew Barr has flagged easing some restrictions soon, but he remains cautious and says opening things like bars and restaurants would likely only be done in line with NSW and other states.
