Tough coronavirus restrictions will be reviewed on a monthly basis in line with health advice. 9News
New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian says tough coronavirus restrictions will be reviewed on a monthly basis in line with health advice.Australia should not be easing restrictions. In her view, we should be exercising further caution.
Phelps cited the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States changing its policy and advising everyone to cover their face with a mask or cloth covering, as well as new compulsory measures in Austria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic for all citizens in public spaces. "We don't know how many people are out there in the community who don't have symptoms so it could be passing it on to other people."If restrictions were to be rolled back in the coming months, experts suggest they would be related to person number limits on outdoor activities.
"We're being restrictive because we're being careful and we don't want this thing to spread. Whether two is important or whether it's just maintaining and adequate distance but allowing groups to sill meet outdoors – those are the sorts of questions that need to be discussed," he toldStrict measures have been put in Australia and the rest of the world. It is unclear how long they will stay in place.
