Professor Robert Booy, an infectious disease expert from the University of Sydney, said clothes carry the virus for a short period of time, but he says they're not a major transmitter.
"Australia's done a fantastic job in terms of clamping down on transmission, so little disease is in the community right now, it's certainly safe. Of course we have to take the precautions we're told to take, but by taking those precautions the risk of disease is tiny," professor Booy toldHe believes temperature checks aren't necessary at shops, restaurants or airports.
"Temperature checks often miss people who've already got the infection. So they're not reliable and they're not something we should be forcing retailers to do," he added.The general manager of Melbourne's popular Chapel Street precinct, Chrissie Maus, says all the stores and eateries are enforcing social distancing rules, and is pleading with people to return.
"In terms of how out street and our precinct has been impacted, it's been absolutely harrowing," Ms Maus told"Please support local. Closing down was the easy part, reopening is going to take time, and it needs you to come and support your local businesses," she added. Shoppers at the popular Pitt Street mall in Sydney expressed their excitement about stores reopening.

Sweden defends COVID-19 strategy after one of highest per capita deathsSweden&x27;s chief epidemiologist on Wednesday defended his country&x27;s controversial coronavirus strategy, which avoided a lockdown but resulted in one of the highest per capita COVID-19 death rates in the world. Riots and looting is apparently the vaccine for Covid-19. After months of locking people up in their homes and telling people to wear masks, US State Governors have no problem with mass gatherings of people. hoorah!! Yeah, they should stay locked down except for when they need to riot and loot. No one is buying your bullshit false numbers anymore. Especially because Sweden has herd immunity now. We know what you are doing...climate lies, covid lie, riot lie.
