AUSTRALIA: Australian PM Morrison points to a 3-step plan, working towards a
COVID-19 safe economy come July, with phased rollbacks of restrictions. The Tsy
has estimated the plan will restore ~850K jobs. Morrison stressed that
individual states must work at their own pace. ABC notes:
- Step 1) Essentially getting people in groups of 10 together, outdoors,
particularly, staying working at home if it's going alright for you & your
employer. Allowing 10 people in a - one person per four square metre distance in
small cafes and restaurants. Some libraries and community centres, again, with
only small numbers of people.
- Step 2) We're looking at larger gatherings of around 20, potentially in some
states, they may look at some venues to go more than that. Opening a range of
other things such as gyms, indoor fitness, beauty therapy, cinemas, galleries,
and the like. Some interstate travel, we think, may recur in that stage.
- Step 3) Is much more relaxed. This, as the Prime Minister said, is still a lot
of work to be done in step three, there's still quite a bit of work to be done
in step 2."
