Six new cases were confirmed in Victoria overnight, including three from a Melbourne psychiatric facility where a cluster of cases emerged. The Australian death toll is 77.
Senator Payne on Sunday said she would push for an independent body outside the World Health Organisation to launch an inquiry into the spread of COVID-19. “Currently, with the pandemic still spreading across the world, the most pressing task is to put people’s life and health first and work together to defeat the virus. At such a critical juncture, it is highly irresponsible to resort to politically-motivated suspicion and accusation.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said social distancing rules - including keeping 1.5m distance between one another - do not apply to children in classrooms.The global death toll passed 190,000. There are more than 2.7 million known cases of infection and more than 738,000 people have recovered, according to the Johns Hopkins University tally.
Mr Morrison added the safe workplace guidelines were to be designed to hasten the restart of the economy. He said the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee said in advice to be released today that such measures were not necessary in schools and "the advice cannot be more clear than that".Mr Morrison also said the national cabinet had accepted the advice of the medical expert panel that it was not recommended that masks be worn by the general population.

ScottMorrisonMP Not possible in schools that’s for sure. So does that mean kids can have birthday parties?
ScottMorrisonMP “Nobody likes to hear this but it is the truth. We are not living through the final phase of this crisis, we are still at its beginning. We will still have to live with this virus for a long time.” - German Chancellor Angela Merkel, leadership through honesty.
ScottMorrisonMP How does just one school kid become a weapon used by government? If you allow one kid thats infected to spend two weeks at school before anybody picks it up,,,,, . You do the math on that outbreak?
ScottMorrisonMP DanielAndrewsMP I only have faith in Andrew. His actions will keep us and our kids safe. My respect for him has gone up like anything. Sorry, I have ZERO trust on actions of 3 people- Scomo, Brendan and Gladys.
ScottMorrisonMP ScoMo is Trump of Australia. I believe schools come under public place.
ScottMorrisonMP How? Someone down there ask him that.....
ScottMorrisonMP If it's okay in schools, then it's okay in parliament.
ScottMorrisonMP Still going for herd immunity then.
ScottMorrisonMP People have a tendancy not tp agree with ScoMo in this. Hopefully states will make different choice.
ScottMorrisonMP I supervised students today while juggling remote teaching and making online lectures etc. 12 hour days. I asked them to stay safe and keep their distance; they laughed, swore and carried on. Thanks PM for choosing $$$ over our safety and encouraging this behaviour. disgrace
ScottMorrisonMP Biggest load of croc I’ve heard (and trump just told people to inject themselves with disinfectant)
ScottMorrisonMP How dumb this man ceases to amaze me hopefully his a one term wonder unqualified religious bigot ScottyFromMarketing
ScottMorrisonMP But he still keeps parks and playgrounds and pools etc closed. No fucking logic. Also let’s forget kids with asthma in school let alone the adult staff!
ScottMorrisonMP Are u fucking serious?! Does he mean bc he will supply endless protective equipment! I dare him to lift ALL bans. Everyone back to socialising, back at work, gym, massage etc starting with him.
ScottMorrisonMP And follow up with ‘no crowds for Anzac Day’
ScottMorrisonMP The Crime Minister is a complete moron. And a dangerous one at that.
ScottMorrisonMP
ScottMorrisonMP I disagree. That is probably what Trump told him? :-(
ScottMorrisonMP The logic here is just ridiculous Scott Morrison needs to bring back Parliament what a numpty
ScottMorrisonMP Risk has always been low in school. Recent articles in The Lancet support this view. Stop denying kids an education. Get them back to school!
ScottMorrisonMP It’s a state matter so butt out
ScottMorrisonMP NZ’s 2nd biggest cluster came from a school
ScottMorrisonMP How very convenient. Morrison saying kids, teachers and other staff are expendable; business and the economy before human life. This is a seriously warped point of view, legally and morally. Trumpian madness.
ScottMorrisonMP Maybe we should ALL be in school if it’s so safe. Resume parliament from Canberra Public School. Put call centres into schools. Gyms can reopen in schools. Get the elderly into schools. Hospitals can run from schools. Safety for all!
ScottMorrisonMP He’s not the PM, he gets his orders from PM Rupert Murdoch, this is about his business not failing , everything else will come second from here
ScottMorrisonMP So they go back to school but most senior kids would then also be on public transport....mixing with others who may be infected (knowingly or not) - just wait till it’s safe!
ScottMorrisonMP Back to school please - teachers unions are a disgrace!
ScottMorrisonMP For students. But not for adults.
ScottMorrisonMP Why no distancing in schools? Kids, teachers and all staff are immune?
ScottMorrisonMP The data on schools is minimal because most countries closed schools. The only reason he says they are not doing social distancing is because they realise it is impossible with all kids back at school. The science is not settled on SAFETY and kids transmitting the virus.
ScottMorrisonMP This makes me furious.
ScottMorrisonMP Wish Dan Andrews was PM...
ScottMorrisonMP Does the virus know ‘to spread’ when you’re in a restaurant but ‘not to spread’ when you’re in a school. Hmmm, clever virus! 👀
ScottMorrisonMP Let's open the parks again, if kids are going back to school time for playgrounds too
ScottMorrisonMP Oh lord, he keeps changing the goalposts, he's an utter dipstick.
ScottMorrisonMP Morrison has his own agenda, as always. You are an arse of a man.
ScottMorrisonMP Still trying to give us herd immunity by stealth..
ScottMorrisonMP Exempt Schools from social distancing so teachers and children entering are somehow immune in this artificial bubble!
ScottMorrisonMP Guess what, they are not appropriate at all! It’s bullshit
ScottMorrisonMP If only the world would listen! Build more schools and house people in schools. No social distancing required - 🤦♂️ You can’t get infected in a school setting according to PM Morrison’s viewpoint. COVIDIOTS Covid_19australia
ScottMorrisonMP PRAISE THE LORD...see the virus is banned from all schools! well done Morrison - your prayers are answered! or is that you want Hillsong's Kidsong event to go ahead risking lives?
ScottMorrisonMP I always knew that schoolkids weren't human. Or teachers for that matter.
ScottMorrisonMP Total BS
ScottMorrisonMP Is Morrison including all children? Does this also mean kids who are diabetics, asthmatics? Is there a newborn baby in the family? It’s not just abt unknown future effects, lungs heart but risk an asymptomatic child might spread coronavirus to more vulnerable ppl.
ScottMorrisonMP Let us know when ALL politicians kids are back in face to face school
ScottMorrisonMP Look I am desperate for my year 12 daughter to go back to school as some kids are finding motivation isn’t there BUT not at the risk of her or anybody’s life. That’s just ridiculous. Grateful that the Victorian Govt is making their own decisions.
ScottMorrisonMP And so if schools were to take an excursion to Parliament House—and sit in the chambers—when it resumes, that would be OK, then. COVID19Aus auspol
ScottMorrisonMP DanielAndrewsMP JamesMerlinoMP don't listen to this ignorant bully. Victoria is showing the rest of the state's how to do it. KeepAustraliaLockedDown Term2OnLine
ScottMorrisonMP Idiot
ScottMorrisonMP Everything Scotty says or thinks belongs in the toilet.
ScottMorrisonMP One in all in scumo
ScottMorrisonMP Doesn't matter what ScottyFromMarketing says it's up to the state Premier's to say when school goes back, Morrison just wants to have things his way and be in charge ScoMoNeedsToGo
ScottMorrisonMP One reason people don't want their kids in school, all children can contract and spread it
ScottMorrisonMP We know you just want the kids back in school Scomo because you couldn’t get it your way when the state leaders decided not to send kids to school.
ScottMorrisonMP He’s an idiot who really doesn’t get what it’s like in schools. It’s as if he’s pushing a kind of herd immunity through schools-don’t know why. Such conflicting messages, time and time again
ScottMorrisonMP This make no sense at all. Your health professionals only think they know what this virus will do and children are known spreaders and carriers. Wrong decision ScoMo.
ScottMorrisonMP Maybe should abolish them at auspost smh
ScottMorrisonMP Distancing 'not appropriate and not required' in schools - why not? - apart from the fact that it interferes with your own agenda. And don't cite the opinion of your CMO who will say anything to go along with your agenda. Magical Thinking: schools are different...
ScottMorrisonMP Schools are made up of more than just kids. Also include teachers, support staff, cleaners, parent helpers, parents and bus drivers. The number of interactions between adults and children during a school day both inside and outside the school needs to be taken into consideration.
ScottMorrisonMP Yes spot on mr Morrison, such a strong leader in these tough times.
ScottMorrisonMP I think it is the order from Trump. It is truely foreign influence. Australian politicians should 'stand up'. covid19australia COVID19Aus auspol
ScottMorrisonMP Australia only stopped being like the USA because we acted so well. And Morrison only enforced social distancing because Dan Andrews did it first. Scomo only cares about money. The economy before people.
ScottMorrisonMP Because it's all bullshit.
ScottMorrisonMP Social distancing differs depending on the country: Australia = 1.5 metres. USA = 6 feet (1.829 metres) UK = 2 metres. Why?
