After spending almost all their time inside since Melbourne’s playgrounds were shut last month, Corinne Moesch’s three children are jumping for joy at news they will soon reopen.

There will be rules around playground use. They will be open only for children under the age of 12. Only one carer can attend and adults should not remove their masks to eat or drink, andMs Moesch, who is fully vaccinated, welcomed the reopening of playgrounds too, but said she would encourage her children to keep a distance from other children and may visit less than she was previously.

“My advice on playgrounds [closing], originally, was because we saw that people were using it as a loophole to have de facto meetings across households, neighbourhoods, families,” he said.
