Restriction relief from next Friday: Scott Morrison gives Australia a lockdown ‘early mark’ as he moves forward date to open up economy
Coronavirus restrictions will be relaxed from next Friday after Scott Morrison brought forward the date because the infection rate is so low.
The National Cabinet was due to discuss relaxing the so-called national baseline restrictions on May 11 – but the Prime Minister has brought forward this meeting to May 8.
‘Australians deserve an early mark for the work that they have done,’ the Prime Minister said.
Mr Morrison said the National Cabinet will discuss ‘how conditions can be eased.’
The Prime Minister said 11 out of 15 conditions have been met for the relaxation of restrictions – but urged Australians to download the app.
