Statement from the Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Dr Nick Coatsworth about coronavirus (COVID-19). The Australian Government’s communications response to the COVID-19 pandemic is entering a new phase, as governments are gradually easing restrictions around public gatherings, how businesses can operate and regional travel.
They can do this because Australia has been very successful at flattening the curve. Thanks to the efforts of all Australians, we are in a position that’s the envy of many countries.
The current number of new cases in Australia each day is very low. As we start to ease restrictions, it’s important that all Australians stay COVIDSafe.
