The infection rate in Australia remains slower than in many other countries, although it is accelerating, especially in the most populous states of NSW and Victoria where more than half of the country’s 25.5-million people live. NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said harsher enforcement of social distancing could be necessary if community transmission began to rise “at a rate that we are not comfortable with”.Australia’s state and federal governments have sent some mixed messages about social distancing and other containment measures, leading to widespread confusion.
Police said they had attended a backpacker hostel at Bondi on Friday night to prevent a “free sausage sizzle” that had been advertised at the venue, amid concerns that young people in particular are not taking containment measures seriously.
Australia is heading in to autumn and coronavirus will likely spread ....They are wise to increase social distancing.
A bit late to the party guys
While in kenya the president is fighting COVID19 best way he knows
Do not look at anyone or let them look at you as it can spread thru eye contact. Stay home, avoid crowds and queues but it is ok to crowd and queue at polling booths.
