Australia will retain restrictions on public movement for at least four more weeks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said
Australia has avoided the high numbers of coronavirus casualties reported in other countries around the world after closing its borders and imposing strict “social distancing” measures for the past month.
Still, Morrison said the rules would not be relaxed until national testing capacity has been increased, contract tracing of known COVID-19 cases expanded and a response to any future outbreak fully prepared.“We want to be very clear with Australians, baseline restrictions we have in place at the moment, there are no plans to change those for the next four weeks,” Morrison told reporters.
