Now that the country is cautiously optimistic that the curve has been flattened, the big question is how and when we will come out of isolation? Several states have already started relaxing physical distancing laws, while others are holding firm. So what are the laws as they currently stand? These are the laws as of Wednesday 29 April. This article will be updated as new restrictions are implemented or repealed. Queensland Queensland was one of the first states to announce an easing of restrictions.
Previously residents were only allowed out of their home for one of eight essential – reasons including obtaining essential goods or services, receiving medical attention or caring for family members. However, on Saturday 25 April premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced that Queenslanders would be able to shop for non-essential items from Friday 1 May. These border restrictions remain in place. Victoria. ‘Cashed-up activists’ should not be able to hold up developments, Australia's resources minister says. The federal minister for resources, water and northern Australia, Keith Pitt, says “cashed-up activists” should not be able to hold up developments that have been approved by a government agency “simply because they can afford to”.
In an interview with Guardian Australia, Pitt said Australia had “some of the strongest environmental protections in the world” and the government had “no intention to change how strongly we protect the environment”. But he said a review of Australia’s environmental laws needed to consider how assessment processes could be “streamlined” for companies developing major projects. “For individual companies who are making investment decisions there needs to be consistency, particularly around the timeframes and how long particular approvals might take, regardless of whether that is local, state or federal government levels,” he said. “It shouldn’t be up to cashed-up activists to be able to hold up particular projects for a decade, simply because they can afford to.” Coronavirus Australia live updates: ACT known active cases down to zero, as Andrew Forrest reportedly making bid for Virgin Australia – live news.
People now be asking as they have for a few days, what does this in terms of lifting some of the restrictions that we have had in place?
The chief minister will have more to say about this tomorrow. It is important to emphasise that it is not a race to lift restrictions. Some of the announcements that have been made in other jurisdictions are pretty much in line with some of the arrangements that were already in place in the ACT. Here in the ACT you have already been allowed to go and visit another person ‘s house, as long as it is only one or two people together, and as long as those physical distancing arrangements can be maintained, that is one person every four square metres or staying 1.5m apart. We will have more to say tomorrow on some of the other measures we will be looking out over the next little while. We do need to maintain vigilance in relation to Covid-19. We cannot close our borders in the ACT. Coronavirus: Australian authorities confident country can beat second wave when restrictions ease. Australia's health authorities are confident the country can fight off a potential second wave of coronavirus when restrictions are eased.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has flagged a national cabinet meeting with state and territory leaders in mid-May as crucial to lifting some social and economic clamps. Deputy Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly says if outbreaks occur, Australia will have a detailed response to deal with the disease. "If a second wave does occur, we'll deal with it quickly and we'll respond to it," he said.
Infection rates have grown overseas after strict lockdown measures were lifted, with Germany the latest example after easing rules last week. But Mr Morrison is adamant Australia can lift restrictions in a safe way. "Of course, there will be outbreaks. "That is why the protections that we put in place for a COVID-safe Australia are so important. " Health authorities are also confident there is capacity within intensive care units to treat outbreaks of the disease.
