Recent News regarding China Sunday 1st January 2023 From Thursday 5th January, people coming from China will need to test negative to Covid-19 before entering Australia.
Background As the rest of the world returns to something close to "normal", China has placed millions of people in Covid lockdown this year, turning the country into a “huge prison” and damaging the economy. Botched attempts to produce its own vaccine and unwillingness to swallow its pride and import them, leaves draconian lockdowns as the only way to tackle Covid. According to global Japanese financial company Nomura, lockdown in China could hit 30% in the next two weeks, with an accompanying impact on the world's economy.
BBC Update Thursday 1st December 2022 Australian Update Tuesday 27th December 2022 The commission late Monday issued a plan to stop treating Covid-19 as a “Class A” infectious disease, which demands stringent control measures, and downgrade the management of the virus to “Class B,” which requires more basic treatment and prevention. The change means people traveling to China from abroad will need to have only a negative Covid-19 test within 48 hours to be allowed into the country, the NHC said. International arrivals will no longer be required to be tested on arrival or undergo quarantine -- a major step toward opening up for a country that has been largely closed off to the outside world for three years.
Thursday 9th March 2023: From Saturday 11 March 2023, travellers no longer need to take a pre-departure COVID-19 test when returning to Australia from China, Hong Kong or Macau. Reports show that COVID-19 cases, hospitalisations and deaths peaked in late December 2022/early January 2023.

BEIJING: Beijing is facing a “critical” Covid situation as more than 400 million people in China have been plunged into lockdown. It comes as six million people were placed under Covid lockdown in a Chinese city Zhengzhou, home to the world’s largest iPhone factory, after clashes between police and workers furious over pay.
Restrictions in major cities like Guangzhou were abruptly lifted on Wednesday, hours after the city saw violent protests that resulted in clashes between police and protesters. A community in the capital Beijing also allowed Covid cases with mild symptoms to isolate at home.
Following waves of protests this fall, authorities abruptly abandoned the country’s stringent zero-Covid-19 strategy early this month.
From January 8, China will scrap all quarantine measures for Covid-19, including requirements for inbound visitors, both foreigners and Chinese nationals, according to the National Health Commission.

Re Countries with mask mandates
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-2021, most of the world's 7 to 8 billion people were required to use surgical-type masks. As of April 2022, the emergence of COVID-19 vaccinnes (as well as increased availability of treatment) has enabled many countries to relax their mask mandates, however the situation is still in flux.

Masks
After January 8th 2021 masks became mandatory on all flights, both international and domestic, and where possible travellers had to return a negative COVID-19 test result prior to their departure to Australia. Hotel staff were also being tested daily during 2021.
Masks became no longer mandatory at Australian airports after June 18 2022. On June 21, Qantas announced masks were no longer mandatory on their flights to US, UK and Rome. On September 9, the requirement to wear masks on domestic and international flights to Australia was removed.
Quarantine
On Friday 15th October 2021, NSW announced an end to all quarantine requirements for overseas vaccinated residents from 1st November.
On Wednesday 27th October 2021, Scott Morrison confirmed the new arrangements that give fully-vaccinated Australians the ability to travel overseas without first having to seek permission from the Department of Home Affairs. “Last night the Health Minister signed off on the fact that from November 1, Australians who are double vaccinated will be able to travel overseas," the Prime Minister told Sunrise. Under the new rules, Australians will be able to travel quarantine free to Singapore from November 8 via a vaccinated-only travel lane. The new lane will be open to Australian citizens and permanent residents and their families as well as business travellers and international students.
On Monday 21 February 2022, Australia reopened to all fully vaccinated visa holders, welcoming the return of tourists, business travellers, and other visitors. However, unvaccinated visa holders still needed to be in an exempt category or hold an individual travel exemption to enter Australia. This requirement came to an end on 6 July 2022.

Prior to November 2021, if you were an Australian citizen or a permanent resident, you could not leave Australia due to COVID-19 restrictions unless you had an exemption.

Quarantine Caps by State The number of Australians desiring to return and registered with DFAT (Department Foreign Affairs and Trade) increased from 25,000 in September 2020 to 39,000 in December 2020. And Home Affairs announced that month that since the end of March 2020 over 91,000 Australians had secured exemptions to leave the country (averaging about 2300 per week) adding to the potential backlog of those wanting to return. In mid October, Sydney Brisbane and Perth increased their caps by 500 each, and Adelaide by 380 to a total of nearly 6000 weekly. At the same time it was announced the Howard Springs Facility, 25 kilometres south of Darwin, would open for overseas arrivals. Eight flights monthly, run by Qantas, would start as early as next week — four from London and four from India. The flights would be underwritten by the Federal Government with people flown back on Qantas Dreamliners which carry 200 passengers per trip.
Nov 7th: Tasmania committed to increasing its hotel quarantine capacity after Prime Minister Scott Morrison said more Qantas flights would be sent to collect stranded Australians from overseas. Tasmanian Premier Peter Gutwein said the state, which had not been accepting returned travellers for hotel quarantine previously, would be creating 450 places. This would be in addition to the 6315 weekly quarantine spaces now available in the other states and territories.
Nov 13th The Queensland Government agreed to continue to surge above their weekly 1,000 passenger cap, and will now allow an additional 300 vulnerable Australians per week.
Nov 20th Victoria announced it was opening to international travellers from Dec 7th, initially capped at 160 per day. International flight arrivals had been cancelled since 2nd July. “Victoria has asked the commonwealth for a short extension of the suspension of international flights landing in Melbourne from November 22 to December 6 to allow the final preparations for Victoria’s reset quarantine accommodation program for returned travellers to take place,” a spokeswoman said.
Jan 8th 2021: Following the arrival of a more infectious strain from the UK, Cabinet announced a halving in weekly numbers from January 15th until February 15th. NSW will reduce to 1505, Qld to 500, and WA to 512. There is no change in Victoria, which is already operating at less than half of its capacity and South Australia will also keep its intake, currently 490 people each week. The ACT, Northern Territory and Tasmania only have “bespoke arrangements” for arrivals, said Morrison. Feb 15th: Nationwide, the weekly limits became:
Weekly Caps announcement on Wednesday August 25th 2021. It included a 50% reduction announced on Friday July 2nd (and in force from July 14th) due to the transmissibility of the Delta strain. It also included a further reduction by NSW to 756 after September 8, as the NSW premier pointed to the amount of critical health resources hotel quarantine sucked up.
Total Caps thus dropped to 2436 (from 6370)
However the federal government lifted the number of commercial flights going into Darwin allowing arrivals to quarantine at Howard Springs (29 km south east of the Darwin CBD) with 29 flights arranged for July and August.

In September 2020, due to quarantine caps only 3975 Australians were able to return weekly (Sydney 2450, Brisbane 500, Adelaide 500, Perth 525).

In Australia the numbers are a small fraction of this. In 2022-23 the birthrate was 34 babies per hour or 820 per day (300,000 for the year), the *death rate was 22 per hour or 520 per day (190,000 for the year), leading to a net natural yearly increase of about 110,000.
*Regarding age and gender mortality, 66% of deaths registered in Australia in 2018 were people aged 75 or over (59% males and 73% females). The median age of death for men was 78, for women 84.
As a percentage of the whole, the 20787 deaths in Australia since December 2021 of people with COVID is thus fairly small. The emotional pressure, however, of seeing lives cut short possibly due to COVID is the issue.
Net migrant intake on top of the net increase yearly had historically been about 160,000. But with no sign that borders would reopen before **2022, the budget papers released in October 2020 showed net migration numbers falling from 154,000 in the 2019-20 financial year to a net loss of 72,000 in 2020-21. Negative levels of migration were a first for Australia since World War II. In actual fact the drop grew to 88,800 and when coupled with natural growth of 134,800, it gave a total growth for the year of just 46,000 or 0.18%. Due to these border closures and a slowed fertility rate, it was the lowest growth in more than 100 years.
**On September 2nd 2022, the government increased its net migrant intake from 160,000 to 195,000. However an overseas students surge meant net migrant intake for 2022-23 was much higher at 388,000.

Tuesday 26 Apr 2022 From 11.59pm Household contacts will not have to quarantine if they have no COVID-19 symptoms but will be required to minimise their movement in the community and comply with risk mitigation requirements including mask wearing indoors, COVID testing requirements and not entering high-risk settings.
From 11.59pm on Friday 29 April 2022, quarantine requirements for unvaccinated travellers will be removed. All international travellers arriving in Australia will be encouraged to get a COVID-19 test within 24 hours of their arrival.
Friday 25 Feb 2022 From 6pm masks no longer required in many indoor settings in workplaces, shops, cafes, restaurants & pubs. However businesses and workplaces should consider whether to implement mask wearing policies within their own workplaces, both for employees and any clients or visitors entering the premises as part of their COVID Safety Plan and to meet work health and safety obligations.
Masks continue to be required in all indoor spaces at schools, early childhood education and care settings, also on public transport, rideshares, airports, prisons, disability, aged care. The masks requirement inside airports was removed Saturday 18th June 2022.
Restrictions during 2021, although there were no active cases prior to its lockdown, face masks were mandatory when out in the community, from midnight Sunday 27th June.
On Thursday 12th August at midday ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr announced a snap 7-Day lockdown at 5pm following a man in Canberra's north testing positive to the virus after having been infectious in the community since Sunday. On Monday 16th August, lockdown extended to 2nd September. On Monday 30th August lockdown extended to 17th September (though with outdoor playgrounds, fitness stations and dog parks allowed to reopen), and on Tuesday 14th September lockdown extended to mid-October.
Canberra restrictions from Friday 12 November 2021
NSW
Tuesday 21 June 2022 International travellers are no longer required take a COVID-19 test upon arrival in NSW.
Friday 22 Apr 2022 The government had come under pressure from businesses to remove the close contact restriction, with some sectors struggling with staff shortages. From 6pm household contacts of COVID cases will no longer need to isolate for seven days.

Those infected at the hotel include a man who spent five days in Perth, unwittingly infecting a friend, before flying home to Melbourne.
The outbreak at the Mercure Hotel in Perth happened after a couple arrived from India on April 10 and the man tested positive on April 13, followed by his wife two days later.
A pregnant mother and her four-year-old daughter, who arrived on April 3 from the United Kingdom along with the girl’s father who previously had the virus, were quarantining in an opposite room.

"If the hospital or palliative care service is able to supervise the interaction and provide PPE (personal protective equipment), then that person can visit their dying relative," Dr Young said. She said that even with that exemption, people travelling on health, legal or compassionate ground would still need to quarantine in a hotel first.

Limits on hospitality patronage will increase to 40 customers indoor with 70 seated outside. Attendee limits for funerals and religious gatherings will increase to 20 indoors and 50 outdoors. Indoor exercise and entertainment will be increased to 20 people per venue.
The 10-person limits on outdoor gatherings and weddings will remain. Mr Andrews said Victorians would need to continue working from home as well as wearing masks when in public. “The time for that to change is not now,” he said. "You can still only have a maximum of two people to visit per day. Going forward though, those two people don’t need to be from the same household, and they’ll be able to come at different times.
Instead of a specific number of visitors at hospitals and aged care – a household will be able to visit together, once per day and limited to two hours.
The state of emergency order will be extended until December 6 to enforce the Chief Health Officer’s directions.
Monday 26th October “The most important thing today is to acknowledge that with zero cases and so much testing over the weekend, not just in the north but across the whole state, we are able to say that now is the time to open up,” Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said.
From 11:59pm on Tuesday, retail will reopen in Melbourne, as will restaurants, hotels, cafes and bars, with limits of 20 people indoors, including 10 people per space, and 50 people outdoors with one person per two square metres.
Saturday 24th October
South Australia’s border restrictions with Victoria have been eased with a travel bubble being extended to 70km on either side of the border, enabling people to travel without having to provide a reason. People in Victoria are also now allowed to enter South Australia if they wish to permanently relocate, either for work or to come home.
Sunday 18th October
The Premier has released a statement, detailing the relaxation of social restrictions from midnight tonight including:
Sunday 27th September Saturday 26th September Monday 21st September The fall in Victoria's daily total of new COVID-19 cases to 14 on Sunday came at a good time...
Sunday August 2nd Victoria will declare a state of disaster and stage four restrictions will be imposed from 6pm tonight, including a police-enforced curfew in metro Melbourne. *The curfew is extended to 9pm - 5am as a minor easing from 11.59pm on September 13 and will remain in place until September 28. It also allows people who live alone to nominate one person to visit. Exercise limits will be increased from one hour to two hours per day and the five-kilometre travel limit will no longer apply. Regional Victoria will allow up to five people from up to two houses to gather outside.
However, from 11:59pm on Wednesday 16 September, regional Victoria has moved further towards reopening
Despite recording almost twothirds of the nation’s COVID-19 cases since the start of May and 39 in the past two days alone, Victoria looked set to press on with plans to further ease coronavirus restrictions from Monday. Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said the numbers were concerning but current advice from the state’s health officials remained that restrictions due to be eased on June 22 could “slowly, cautiously, safely” proceed. State of Emergency extended to 11.59pm on July 19 The Premier said the numbers — which have hit a two-month high in Victoria — had been driven up by families who had ignored instructions to quarantine, despite testing positive. Victoria coronavirus hotspot lockdown in ten postcodes Andrews locks down nine towers, more suburbs. The Melbourne public housing towers to be locked down under new orders today are:
Extract below from Daniel Andrews on Twitter The Andrews government will impose full Stage Three stay-at-home orders on the whole of metropolitan Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire immediately north of Melbourne, from 11:59pm on Wednesday for at least the next six weeks.
Victorian Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said his advice to the Andrews government to shut down Melbourne for the second time was “certainly awful advice to have to give to any government”. However, he said epidemiologists were overwhelmingly of the view that it was necessary.
Fishing boating tennis golf and surfing will be permitted this time, subject to social distancing and outdoor gathering restrictions.
Hard lockdown ends for eight towers 1.The highest number of cases were found at 33 Alfred Street, North Melbourne, with at least 53 confirmed cases, representing approximately 11 per cent of residents.
All residents in that building are now being classed as close contacts and will not be able to leave their homes at all for a total of 14 days, including the five days already elapsed. “We’ll continue to support these Victorians with food, back to school resources and any other kind of assistance they might need as they stay home and stay safe,” Premier Daniel Andrews said. “Daily exercise will be scheduled and supervised.” 2 and 3. From 5pm on Thursday, residents of 5 Pampas Street and 159 Melrose Street are free to revert to the Stage Three restrictions which apply to the rest of Melbourne, after none of them tested positive.
4,5,6,7,8,9. Six other towers with smaller numbers of infections: 12 Sutton Street, 76 Canning Street, 12 Holland Court, 120 Racecourse Rd, 126 Racecourse Road and 130 Racecourse Road will also be reopened from 11:59pm on Thursday night, with those residents subject to Stage Three restrictions. Positive cases and their close contacts in the eight towers which are reopening will have access to an alternative offsite accommodation for the period of their isolation.
However, Mr Andrews said the decision of whether to relocate was up to the residents. “For those who choose not to relocate, each resident will have their own single point of contact with daily check-ins and food, medical care and mental health support services all provided,” the Premier said. “This includes having a dedicated team of community leaders and community nurses who’ll be on hand to provide care door-to-door.
“Consistent with all positive cases and close contacts, regular checks will be undertaken to ensure these residents remain at home.” Communal laundries in all towers will remain closed, with external laundry services provided to residents. Deep cleans of all floors will occur each day, with high touchpoints in lifts and stairwells cleaned at least five times a day.
Medical clinic marquees will also be set up outside each tower to check the symptoms of residents as they exit and enter, with testing and health checks also available. Victoria Police will continue to guard towers with positive cases, in smaller numbers than during the full lockdown.
From 11:59pm Wednesday 22 July if you live in metropolitan Melbourne or Mitchell Shire you must wear a face covering when leaving home unless you have a lawful reason for not doing so, including a) if you have a medical condition or other condition that impairs your ability to wear a face covering, b) doing strenuous exercise, or c) if you are unable to do your job while wearing a face covering. People who do not wear face coverings and do not have a lawful excuse can be fined $200. Children who are under the age of 12 years old do not need to wear a face covering. Children who are two years or younger must not wear face coverings as they are a choking and suffocation risk.
Melburnians will be released from stay-at-home restrictions on Wednesday, for the first time since July 7. However, the 25km travel limit will remain in place.

Victoria state of disaster — Melbourne curfew introduced
Under "shock and awe" state of disaster provisions, an *8pm - 5am curfew will be imposed by police and soldiers across Melbourne, starting tonight and continuing daily for at least six weeks.
The state of disaster declaration means Victoria Police and others have been granted additional powers, and the government can also suspend various acts of the parliament.

These included pubs and clubs serving drinks without a meal for up to 50 people if they are seated and social-distancing measures are adhered to. Cafes and restaurants would also be able to increase their capacity to 50, and cinemas, theatres and concert venues could reopen to cater for 50 seated patrons.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has called out a mass Black Lives Matter protest in Melbourne exactly two weeks ago as he announced a reversal of COVID-19 easing in the state. While Victorian health authorities say the protest was not a major factor in the five-fold increase in community transmission in the state, Chief Medical Officer Brett Sutton said it was possible there were more infections as a result of the event that had not yet been discovered. “It was peaceful but it was not helpful,” Mr Andrews said.
“It’s appropriate that we be really upfront and describe it so people can understand what’s driving these numbers,” he said. “We’ve had cases of people gathering in large numbers at their home or another family member’s home or close friend’s home, even though they had been told to isolate in their own home. We have even had people who have tested positive and have been told to go home and isolate, and instead, they have gone to work, instead they have gone and visited loved ones in large numbers. We have had many stories, numerous stories of families that have given it to each other, and have then transmitted the virus to other families who in turn have passed it on to a third group.”
The Premier said authorities would consider suburb-by-suburb lockdowns if required to get control of the virus and were prepared to “go door-to-door” to get the message through to people who were ignoring health advice.
From midnight on Wednesday 1st July, ten postcodes will have restrictions reimposed and will be required to stay at home for the second time. There will be only four reasons for those residents to leave their home: Work or school, care-giving, daily exercise and food and supplies.
3012 - Brooklyn, Kingsville, Maidstone, Tottenham, West Footscray
3021 - Albanvale, Kealba, Kings Park, St Albans
3032 - Ascot Vale, Highpoint City, Maribyrnong, Travancore
3038 - Keilor Downs, Keilor Lodge, Taylors Lakes, Watergardens
3042 - Airport West, Keilor Park, Niddrie
3046 - Glenroy, Hadfield, Oak Park
3047 - Broadmeadows, Dallas , Jacana
3055 - Brunswick south, Brunswick west, Moonee vale, Moreland west
3060 - Fawkner
3064 - Craigieburn, Donnybrook, Mickelham, Roxburgh Park, Kalkallo
The orders will run for four weeks until July 29.
Victoria Police will be actively enforcing the suburban lockdown and can issue on-the-spot fines.
This comes after the state recorded more than 220 cases in the past four days, including the fourth biggest spike since the start of the pandemic. Andrews said while there are ten postcodes locked down, it is still up to every Victorian to follow the rules. “If we don’t do this now we won’t be locking down ten postcodes, I’ll be locking down all postcodes,” he said.

Housing Minister Richard Wynne said of the towers: “They are all characterised by having common lifts, common entrances and common walkways within the flats themselves so on the expert advice of the Chief Health Officer and we believe that they present an acute challenge going forward”.
The Victorian Premier announced that, following a phone call between the Prime Minister, the NSW Premier, and himself, the NSW-Victoria border will close from 12.01am Wednesday July 8 to all Victorians. It is the first closure in 101 years since the Spanish flu epidemic in 1919.
It will be enforced on the NSW side.
The border will close to Melburnians from 11.59pm tonight.
Mr Andrews said there would be a permit system for people who needed to cross the border into NSW, particularly those residing in Albury-Wodonga on the border.
All but one of Melbourne’s nine locked down public housing towers will reopen from Thursday night, despite 158 people across seven of the nine towers testing positive to COVID-19. During a late afternoon press conference, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced 2515 residents had been tested since Saturday, with 158 positive cases.
Onsite medical teams are expected to provide medical care and regular testing of these residents.

NSW will relax restrictions on cafes, restaurants and pubs to allow up to 50 patrons to be seated at one time from June 1. NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said “strict guidelines” would still be in place to enforce social distancing, with the four square metre per person rule still applying, standing in venues banned and a maximum group number of 10 people.
Victoria's level of new cases daily is still high in comparison with all other states, with many of the cases detected in returned overseas travellers in hotel quarantine.
On Sunday 31st May its State of Emergency was extended to 21 June, but some restrictions have been eased.
On Sunday 17th May the Victoria Premier announced that pubs, cafes and restaurants will be open to 20 diners from June 1, and venues could serve up to 100 patrons by mid-July.

Queensland Schools ready to reopen May 25 amid coronavirus
Announced Friday afternoon 15th May SBS
Queensland schools will soon be humming again after the government gave the green light for all grades to return. Queensland schools will reopen for all grades from May 25, but school formals remain on the backburner. The government has given a final green light for students in years 2 to 10 to head back to their classrooms. Kindy, Prep, Year 1 and Years 11 and 12 went back this week, as part of a staggered resumption of school operations.... "This latest step is only possible given the low transmission rates that Queensland has experienced and thanks to the efforts of all Queenslanders," Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said on Friday. "Our decision to adopt a sensible and deliberate approach with this phased return has proven to be the right one as we progressively move to relax the range of COVID-19 restrictions in place across the state."
Education Minister Grace Grace said this week has gone well. "Our staged return to school has gone so smoothly with parents and carers heeding the advice around 'stop, drop and go' to ensure the health, wellbeing and safety of all."
Students and staff have been given strict rules aimed at reducing the risk of new coronavirus infections. Adults must maintain physical distancing of 1.5 metres and must not gather in groups in and around school grounds, car parks, school gates and outside classrooms.
Inside school gates, students are not social distancing but desks have been moved apart where possible, and start and finish times have been staggered. Contact sports have been cancelled but physical education classes will return.
Parents have been urged not to send any student to class if they are unwell. "We are not out of the woods yet," Ms Grace said. "If there is an outbreak, the school involved will be closed down and undergo an intense clean which could take three to four days."
The minister said formals for Year 12s are still off the table, and won't proceed until the chief health officer gives her approval.

Back-to-school push gathers pace in Qld, NSW, Tasmania
The Australian
More Australian children are returning to school sooner after Queensland and NSW brought forward plans for more face-to-face learning and Tasmanian kids head back to the classroom in growing numbers, despite that state government’s advice to learn from home where possible.
From Monday May 11, Queensland children in kindy, Prep, Year 1 and Years 11 and 12 will head back to the classroom, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said. The move will be assessed on May 15 and, all being well, Years 2 to 10 will return on May 25.
Ms Palaszczuk had previously flagged that her state would examine relaxing school restrictions only on May 15, but few COVID-19 cases, high levels of concern among parents and the need to kickstart the economy prompted a faster timetable back to school. “Our numbers are still low, and that is the reason why we can now put in place these dates … they are subject to change if we do get increases with any community transmission or any outbreaks," Ms Palaszczuk said.
Teachers will have to exercise social distancing around the school, as well as parents, but children in classrooms will not be expected to stay distant from each other. Schools must organise appropriate pick-up and drop-off arrangements to ensure the necessary distancing.... NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian also weighed into the schools issue on Monday, saying all going well, NSW students could be back in the classroom faster than anticipated. She said she had instructed public schools in the state to “expedite” classes for Year 12 students preparing for their end-of-year examinations, and the “overwhelming majority” had done so.
Other students in NSW will return to the classroom one day a week from Monday May 11, moving to two days a week later in term two. “If the first few weeks go well, we will consider bringing back full-time face-to-face teaching in a quicker way than we first anticipated,” Ms Berejiklian said.
With 70 per cent of children in South Australia and about 60 per cent in Western Australia now back at school in term two, and the Northern Territory’s schools remaining open, Victoria, the ACT and Tasmania are the only jurisdictions encouraging students to learn from home if they can, with exceptions for the children of essential workers or vulnerable children.
In Tasmania, the number of students attending state schools since term two began on Tuesday last week has almost tripled, from 7-8 per cent at the end of last term to 19-20 per cent. Tasmanian Premier Peter Gutwein defended the decision to keep schools closed to most students, saying it was necessary to reduce the movement of people.
Mr Gutwein said the learn-from-home policy was planned to be in place for all of term two but was being constantly reviewed. Education Minister Jeremy Rockliff suggested a staged return to school, prioritising early years and Year 12 students, was being considered.
The Queensland government’s decision to bring children back to the classroom next week would place “huge pressure” on schools and cause significant angst among teachers and parents, the state’s teachers union warned. Queensland Teachers Union president Kevin Bates said the timeline to return four grades to school by next Monday was tight and would be a “real pinch”.
“Not only will teachers have to prepare to return to face-to-face lessons, they’ll have to continue to teach remotely those year levels over the next four days, and teach (face-to-face) the children of essential workers,” Mr Bates said. “You’re asking people to do three jobs at once. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but the expectation is very significant and it’s certainly caused a great deal of angst from teachers and principals … we’ll do our best and we’ll see what next Monday brings.”
Mr Bates said the union had warned the government such a speedy timeline would be difficult. He said the union had been talking to the government about different models of returning to school for some time, but was briefed about the new May 11 date by Education Minister Grace Grace only on Sunday. “I can’t say it was a complete surprise but we’ve (told the government), please understand this will put huge pressure on schools to get four year levels back in just a few days,” Mr Bates said. “As late as Friday, (the Premier said) we’ll make a decision on the 15th of May.”

Here is everything we know so far about the COVID-19 tracing app.
- Why is the government releasing a contact tracing app?
On April 16, Scott Morrison said Australia must reach an "industrial capability of contact tracing", as one of three requirements to be achieved before social restrictions can be lifted – with the other two being a "broader testing regime" and a "faster response capability at a local level".- How does it work?
The app will use Bluetooth to communicate with other smartphones that have the app installed.
If two smartphones come within 1.5 metres of each other, and spend 15 minutes in that proximity, an interaction or “digital handshake” will be recorded on each phone.- What data is collected?
Each interaction recording includes a user’s name, contact number, age range, and postcode.
Contact data is encrypted and stored only on each phone.
According to a spokesman from Government Services Minister Stuart Robert’s office, the location of where an interaction took place is not recorded, nor is any other geographic data recorded by the app.- What happens if someone with the app contracts COVID-19?
When a user of the app is diagnosed with COVID-19, the list of other users they have interacted with that is stored on the app is entered into a government database.
State and territory health authorities will notify every recorded contact that they have been in the proximity of a confirmed COVID-19 patient and should get tested and seek medical advice.
- Who can access the data recorded?
According to a spokesman from Government Services Minister Stuart Robert’s office, all contact tracing data remains encrypted on a user’s smartphone unless they are diagnosed with COVID-19.
Once a user is diagnosed and their data is entered into a contact tracing database, only state and territory health authorities will be able to access the database.
A user will not be able to see a list of, or any information about, the users the app has recorded them as having interacted with.
- Will the app be mandatory?
According to Scott Morrison, it will not be mandatory. He said it will follow a consent model even if uptake of the app is below government expectations.
Mr Morrison was forced to clarify comments about this, taking to Twitter to insist it will remain voluntary.- How many people have to download it?
Government estimates suggest 40 per cent of Australians will need to download the app for it to be effective, but Government Services Minister Stuart Robert is encouraging as many Australians as possible to download it to “allow us to get back to life quicker”.- Will it be available on my smartphone?
According to a spokesman from Government Services Minister Stuart Robert’s office, the application will be available for iPhone and Android devices.Original Announcement
Coronavirus contact-tracing app to help set us free

The Australian
Apr 14, 2020
A new tracking app is likely to be available in Australia within weeks, offering faster tracing of COVID-19 contacts and a potential early release from economically crippling social restrictions. Development of the opt-in mobile phone app, based on one used in Singapore, is being led by the nation’s Digital Transformation Agency with the backing of Scott Morrison and input from Attorney-General Christian Porter.
The Australian can also reveal the nation’s top telcos – Telstra, Optus and Vodafone – have contacted the government offering to boost contact-tracing capabilities using metadata they collect under national security legislation. It is understood the Home Affairs Department was initially involved in the app project, but the task was handed to the DTA – under Government Services Minister Stuart Robert – after the agency’s success in delivering a WhatsApp coronavirus information service with software company Atlassian.
The app, which will use the source code for Singapore’s TraceTogether software, will allow health authorities to alert Australians if they have come close to positive COVID-19 cases by using mobile phone Bluetooth data, which record digital “handshakes” with other phones.
Better use of technology is viewed by authorities as critical to getting on top of the virus. But the government is highly sensitive to the civil liberties implications, and is working with the Privacy Commissioner.
Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy confirmed the development of a Singapore-style app – one of several options under consideration – in evidence to the New Zealand parliament’s epidemic response committee.
“We’re very keen to use and use it – perhaps even more extensively than Singapore,” he said. “There’s a conversation to have with the community about the acceptability of it. We think that idea, the TraceTogether app, is a really excellent one if you’ve programmed it properly and got the right community buy-in. We’re actively looking at that as part of a measure that might be used to … consider some relaxation of (social-distancing) measures.”
The government is hoping for a minimum domestic take-up of the app of around 40 per cent to assist in COVID-19 contact tracing, currently done manually. The Singapore model, to date, has a take-up of around 20 per cent. The app, which would help governments map a path for the potential scaling back of strict social-distancing measures, would work in tandem with ramped-up testing and existing tracing measures.
The use of metadata (when and where a call occurs) collected by telcos under the Telecommunications Data Retention Act 2015 – highly controversial when it was introduced – is a possible next step. The Australian has been told the telcos are prepared to make adjustments to data they normally retain, to enable better contact tracing. But it’s understood the government is wary of how the measure would be received by the public.
Former federal cyber security chief Alastair MacGibbon said Australians had already “crossed the Rubicon” of enforced social isolation, making it a relatively smaller step to consent to greater electronic monitoring to tackle COVID-19. “You’d probably transgress far fewer civil liberties by using electronic data – something Australians trade off every day with the multinationals anyway – for the purposes of increasing physical liberty,” he said. “So as we take the foot off that (social-isolation) brake, we might need to increase electronic monitoring.” The former Australian Cyber Security Centre head said use of technology needed to be “reasonable, proportional, time-bound and practical”.
Australian Strategic Policy Institute Cyber Policy Centre director Fergus Hanson said it was sensible to harness technology, “but the detail really matters”. “Done badly, the dataset could be abused – for example, to discriminate against people. Done well, it could save lives by making contact tracing much more effective and efficient. Some of the apps out there are better than others.”
Legal and privacy advocates have told The Australian that such measures, if implemented carefully, were an acceptable infringement on personal liberties given the coronavirus emergency.

Ruby Princess leaves Australian waters
The coronavirus-riddled Ruby Princess cruise ship has been guided out of Port Kembla by tug boats, performing a water salute as it leaves Australian waters five weeks after it arrived in Sydney. The ship has been responsible for 21 deaths and at least 600 cases of COVID-19 across Australia.
A banner has been tied to the back of the Carnival cruise liner thanking the people of the Illawarra region who donated supplies to 500 crew members stuck on board. Marine Traffic data indicates the Ruby Princess is heading for Manila in the Philippines.
Over 300 crew members disembarked from the ship on Thursday to be taken to Sydney Airport where they are due to fly home to the Philippines this evening.
...
Background Story: Thursday 2nd April
A military-style operation is planned to helicopter doctors on to eight cruise ships stranded off the NSW coast to test more than 8000 people in a bid to end a standoff that police fear could overwhelm Sydney’s intensive care units. With the impasse between the owners of the cruise ships – who are refusing orders to leave Australian waters – and NSW police entering its third week police plan to call on military support to land doctors on each vessel to independently test up to 8615 people, most of whom are believed to be crew members.
NSW Police Commissioner Michael Fuller said the tests would determine the extent of COVID-19 outbreaks on each ship. He said decision-makers lacked an accurate picture of the spread of infections. It is understood ships would be forced to leave once those found to be infected had been extracted.
“It would be an extremely large operation,” Mr Fuller said on Wednesday. “It would involve the Department of Defence, we would need medical support. If we had to extract 250 or 350 patients that needed a high level of care, we would need to look at portable hospitals, portable triaging, and that’s before you even think about the logistics and security of moving 250 or 350 people.”
Saturday 4th April
The Spectrum of the Seas and the Radiance of the Seas departed for their home ports on Saturday afternoon after essential supplies were loaded on board. More than 600 crew members, who are foreign nationals, were moved between the two ships during the operation in Sydney Harbour.
The Spectrum of the Seas cruiseliner entered Sydney Harbour about 4.30pm on Friday and docked at Athol Bay to re-provision essential supplies, including fuel, food and medical materials. It was then joined by the Radiance of the Seas ship which entered Sydney Harbour after 5am on Saturday morning.
A third ship, the Celebrity Solstice, entered the harbour on Saturday afternoon with another two – Voyager of the Seas and Ovation of the Seas – expected to follow. Another 780 crew will be moved between the boats before all three depart. Superintendent Steve Hegarty described it as the “largest peace time maritime operation” undertaken in Sydney Harbour.
Local authorities liaised with the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line and its subsidiary Celebrity Cruises to safely coordinate the provisioning and crew movements of their ships so they could head home.
Meanwhile, the notorious Ruby Princess cruise ship – Australia’s biggest single source of infection linked to seven deaths after 2700 passengers and crew were allowed to disembark in Sydney without COVID-19 testing – remains off the coast of NSW as a police investigation into the debacle gets underway. It has been revealed the NSW Port Authority initially denied the notorious cruise ship Ruby Princess permission to dock at Sydney’s Circular Quay but the decision was overturned after a series of “panicked” late night phone calls.
The Sunday Telegraph reports cruise ship staff who called for ambulances to meet the vessel warned paramedics needed to take precautions because two passengers had been swabbed for COVID-19 and were possibly infected. A health log obtained by the newspaper shows the Ruby Princess had at least 17 passengers on board with temperatures over 38C when it sought permission to dock at Sydney Harbour on March 18. Despite initially denying the ship entry, the NSW Port Authority then overturned its own decision. This was preceded by a phone call from a senior Carnival Australia official, who told the Ports Authority the two patients requiring an ambulance transfer needed to be taken to hospital for a cardiac issue and lower back pain – not for COVID-19 symptoms. The cruise liner then came into port about 2.30am on March 19, and passengers and crew were allowed to disembark.
More than 600 passengers onboard have since tested positive for COVID-19, including 351 NSW residents. NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller is investigating the handling of the saga, the transparency of the messaging from the ship, and whether crew members or officials with Carnival Australia, the vessel’s owner, downplayed the potential for COVID-19 to be circulating among passengers when it arrived in Sydney.
Monday 6th April
The Ruby Princess, has docked at Port Kembla, south of Sydney. At least 200 of the 1040 crew members currently on board the vessel are displaying symptoms of COVID-19, while 16 crew members are confirmed to have returned positive results. Two members of the crew were taken off the ship on Sunday and transferred to hospital.
NSW Police on Monday released a statement saying the ship could remain at the NSW port for up to 10 days. “The crew will not disembark unless in an emergency and approved by the NSW Police Commissioner,” it said. “She will also be refuelling and restocking provisions, as required for her home journey. The berthing will be conducted under strict health and biosecurity guidelines and will not pose a risk to employees at the port or the broader community.”

New Data from New South Wales has revealed how long it has taken people to recover from coronavirus. The state’s Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant revealed of the 2,969 total cases in NSW, 1,755 have so far recovered.
Chant said health authorities had been calling confirmed cases three weeks after their diagnosis to ask them about their symptoms and underlying health conditions.
Of those who had recovered, half had been revealed to have recovered 16 days after the onset of the virus, she said.
...
Three-quarters of those who had tested positive had recovered in three weeks.
After six weeks, 95 per cent of those cases were found to have recovered.
“Unsurprisingly, older people were found to take longer than younger people to recover,” Chant said.
Chant added for those who had not yet recovered, health authorities would be checking in on them every two weeks to track their progress.
Nationally, more than 4,000 people have recovered from the virus.

Sunday 29th March 2020
NSW Police Commissioner Michael Fuller said on-the-spot fines of $1000 could be used to enforce the new rules being enacted at midnight, which would limit gatherings outdoors to no more than two people. Mr Fuller said repeated breaches of these rules, or any others, could be taken to court, where six month prison terms could be applied.
In Victoria, Mr Andrews said police would “not be mucking around” in enforcing Stage Three rules banning gatherings of more than two people, breaches of which are punishable with on-the-spot fines of up to $1,652 for individuals. “Five hundred police are dedicated to this, but every general duties officer knows and understands what these rules are, and they won’t hesitate to act either,” he said.

Australian Defence Force personnel would assist in the compliance of the measures, which are set to come into effect from midnight on Saturday March 28.
At Sydney International Airport, the doors to the arrivals terminal on Sunday morning have been locked to any non-employee.
Chartered transfer buses waited for passengers outside the terminal and members of the Defence Force stood at the ready. Hundreds of people are expected to touch down and be escorted to quarantine by bus, however The Australian understands that only six people will be allowed on each transfer bus, with all passengers to enter through the back door.
NSW Police have warned friends and families of returning travellers not to come to the airport to greet them as they “will not be able to see them or physically communicate with them upon their arrival.
The travellers will be processed discreetly before being taken to their nominated hotels. They will then be able to get in touch with family and friends.
There are no areas in the Sydney International Airport in which family and friends will be able to see the returned travellers or make contact with them.”
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said Qld schools will shift to student-free from next week, but children of essential workers will be able to remain in classrooms, while teachers prepare for online learning.
Wednesday 25th March PM Scott Morrison has effectively placed the country into near-total social shutdown, announcing sweeping new measures to battle the coronavirus pandemic.
From midnight on Wednesday March 25, existing restrictions will be extended to include:
States and territories will take control of decisions surrounding food markets, the prime minister said.
Hairdressers and barber shops will be allowed to continue, but social distancing must be strictly managed and time must be restricted to no more than 30 minutes, preferably less.
Shopping centres will remain open, but retail premises will be limited to businesses not included in the list of restrictions.
Monday 23rd March With the nation-wide shutdown announced on the weekend that started today at midday, places staying open are takeaway food places, banks, supermarkets, petrol stations, newsagents, pharmacies, and convenience stores, such as JB HiFi at Westfields, Garden City.
Queensland will be closed to visitors and holiday makers from midnight on Wednesday, with police stationed at airports and permits issued to workers needing to cross the border
For all inside gatherings, rule of thumb is 4 square metres per person e.g. if a room is 4 metres by 10 metres, it can hold theoretically hold
** Update, from midnight Monday March 30, meeting with someone outside your household may only be one-on-one except for weddings(5) and funerals(10).
On Thursday 2nd April, the Queensland Premier clarified rules about "inside the house" saying that Queensland households are allowed to have two visitors, as long as they are not strangers.
Wednesday 18th March
Formation of the National Cabinet of Australia
A special nine-member intergovernmental decision-making forum was formed composed of the Premiers of each of the six states, the Chief Ministers of the ACT and Northern Territory, and the Prime Minister. It will meet many times weekly to coordinate the national response to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.
PM: Don’t travel abroad
Scott Morrison has given an unprecedented warning for all Australians not to travel abroad.
Indoor gatherings of more than 100 people have also been banned as Australia declares a biosecurity emergency.
Update, from midnight Monday March 30, meeting with someone outside your household may only be one-on-one.
Scott Morrison announced the measures on Wednesday morning and explained the move was the result of a recommendation from chief health officers around the country.
The Prime Minister also warned Australians not to travel anywhere overseas as the travel ban to citizens is raised to its highest level in history.
“This is a once in a hundred year type event.”
“We are going to keep Australia running. We are going to keep Australia functioning. It won’t look like it normally does.”
Mr Morrison also threw cold water on the idea of locking down Australian cities, saying “there is no short-term, quick fix to how this is dealt with in Australia”.
“The idea that you can just turn everything off for two weeks and then turn it all back on again and it all goes away. That is not the evidence, that is not the facts, that is not the information and it is not our way through this.”
“We are looking at a situation of at least six months for how we deal with this. It could be much longer than that. It could be shorter. That is unlikely, given the way we are seeing events unfold.”
Aged-care facility residents will not be allowed to receive more than one visit of up to two visitors in an effort to stop the spread of coronavirus. Scott Morrison announced that certain exceptions could be made for end of life care patients.
“There should be no large group visits or gatherings. Including social activities or entertainment to be permitted at this time. No school groups of any size should be allowed to visit aged care facilities,” the Prime Minister said. “Children aged 16 years or less should be visiting only by exception.”

A 77-year-old woman from the Sunshine Coast has died after contracting the coronavirus, Queensland's health authorities have confirmed. She was Australia's fourth coronavirus-related death and the first Queenslander to die after catching the virus.
The Sunshine Coast woman became unwell on a flight to Sydney on Friday and was taken to hospital, but died when she could not be resuscitated. The woman, from Noosaville, had spent the two previous weeks on the Sunshine Coast with her daughter who was visiting from San Francisco, Queensland authorities confirmed on Sunday night.
The federal government on Sunday introduced strict travel restrictions requiring all arrivals to Australia from Monday onwards to self-isolate for 14 days. Cruise ships would be banned from docking at any Australian port for 30 days and non-essential events attracting more than 500 people would be banned, Prime Minister Scott Morrison confirmed.
The new travel restrictions were expected to spark a flood of international flight cancellations, leaving the nation's two key airlines, Qantas and Virgin, reeling.

1st November 2020 Summary cde.newsWorld: 46 million. Europe’s new COVID-19 cases have doubled in five weeks, propelling the region on Sunday across the bleak milestone of 10 million total infections, according to a Reuters tally. Last month both Latin America and Asia also reported over 10 million total cases in their regions. The United States has over 9 million cases with a rapidly accelerating outbreak. While Europe took almost nine months to record its first 5 million COVID-19 cases, the next 5 million cases were reported in slightly over a month, according to Reuters. Amid the surging cases, France, Germany and the United Kingdom have announced nationwide lockdowns for at least the next month that are almost as strict as the restrictions in March and April. Portugal has imposed a partial lockdown and Spain and Italy are tightening restrictions. According to Reuters, Europe has reported over 1.6 million new cases in the past seven days, nearly half the 3.3 million reported worldwide, and over 16,100 deaths, a 44% jump over the previous week. Within the region, Eastern Europe has nearly one-third of the total reported COVID-19 cases, the highest number of cases, while Southern Europe leads the death toll with about 32% of the total coronavirus-related deaths in Europe, according to Reuters. Russia is the worst-affected Eastern European country with over 1.6 million COVID-19 infections. The nation’s Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana Golikova said on Wednesday that hospital beds were at 90% of capacity in 16 regions of the country. |

Updated September 2020
While most business operations are back to normal, many micro-control policies are in place. Some tourist and entertainment facilities have suspended their operation. Other office buildings, scenic spots, hotels, shopping malls, subways, public transports conduct measures to check body temperature and color code of passengers and require them to wear a mask.
Cinemas are allowed to reopen but with strict control measures.
UK March 23 2020:
Update April 15 2020:
Officially, the British strategy is "Stay Home, Protect the National Health Service, Save Lives". Such has been the success of the shutdown, politicians are having to reassure people that it’s OK to go to hospital even for non-coronavirus care. Health Secretary Matt Hancock says there are more than 2000 spare critical care beds across the nation. Chief Scientist Patrick Vallance says the curve has been flattened. The past three weeks have bought time for the government to secure more ventilators, build makeshift hospitals and provide reassurance to people that if they get the virus, they will get help.
But this is a virus in which the most extreme degrees of hospital care don’t offer much. People are not dying for want of medical attention; instead it is underlying health conditions and the state of immune systems that determine results. Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the NHS saved his life; being put on an oxygen mask helped him breathe. If he’d needed a ventilator, his odds of survival would have plummeted to 50 per cent. Scientists are still trying to work out if recovering in the comfort of home and not being subject to potential viral load of the disease from others is better than going to a hospital.
Monday May 11 2020
People will be actively encouraged to return to work from this week if they cannot work from home. Unlimited outdoor exercise will be allowed from Wednesday May 13. People can socialise in open spaces or play one-on-one sport such as tennis, as long as participants stay two metres apart. Sunbathing and outdoor picnics are allowed in local parks, but just with members of a household. From June 1 (at the earliest) nurseries and primary schools may reopen, and some non-essential shops. Children returning to schools will be taught in “protective bubbles” of no more than 15. By July, at least some of the hospitality industry and other public places could be reopened.
Scotland and Wales however remain in lockdown.
Update Tuesday 23rd June 2020
From Saturday July 4, the following will be allowed in England with Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland set to adopt similar measures
In Northern Ireland, pubs, bars, hotels and cafes are reopening on Friday (July 3) while, in Scotland, hospitality venues with outdoor space will open their doors on Monday July 6. However, pubs which only serve alcohol will now not reopen until September, after that date was pushed back from 10 August.
On Friday (10th July) Wales announced that Hospitality businesses will be able to open outdoors from Monday (July 13), with pubs and restaurants to reopen indoors from August 3, providing coronavirus cases continue to fall.
From midnight on Monday 4th January 2021 people in England must stay at home and only go out for essential reasons. Primary and secondary schools have moved to online learning for all pupils apart from vulnerable and keyworker children. Click here for further details about these restrictions and their easing, and also links to latest restrictions and easing in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland which are similar. Reasons to leave home include:
Those who are clinically extremely vulnerable are advised to limit the time they spend outside their home. They should only go out for medical appointments, for exercise, or if it is otherwise essential, the government says, and not for work or education purposes.

In Ireland, from Monday May 11 2021, groups of four to six people who do not share a household may meet outdoors while maintaining social distancing. Places of worship are being opened for private prayer, also “drive-through church services”. The education minister has said he doesn’t envisage a phased return of schools until September.
On Friday 19th June 2021, the government announced that gatherings of up to 50 people indoors & 200 people outdoors would be allowed from June 29.
On July 20 2021 pubs and casinos were due to reopen, with gatherings permitted of up to 100 people indoors and 500 outdoors. However Prime Minister Micheál Martin announced Wednesday 15th July that current restrictions will remain in place until August 10. On Tuesday 4th August, it was agreed to defer it yet again, to be reviewed in three weeks time.
In Ireland, Level 5 restrictions apply to all counties until 31 January 2021. Stay at home, except:
Work from home, unless your work is an essential service that cannot be done from home. You should not visit other households except for essential purposes.
Germany March 23 2020:
Update May 4 2020:
Schools, churches and playgrounds can now gradually reopen, with schools giving priority to students taking exams. Large, mass gatherings will remain banned until August 31, however, and restaurants, cinemas and large retail stores remain closed for now.
Eating in restaurants however is possible in the north-eastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, where the country’s first cafes and restaurants reopened on Saturday. Under Germany’s federal system, each of the 16 states makes its own decisions on how to emerge from lockdown and cafes and restaurants will reopen in a number of other states in the coming days and weeks. Most shops are open and children are slowly returning to classrooms. Bundesliga football matches are also set to resume. Heeding signs of a second wave, German authorities have agreed to reimpose restrictions locally if an area has more than 50 new infections per 100,000 residents over a week.
The use of face masks in public transport and in shops continues to be mandated.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that New Zealand is moving in 48 hours (on Wednesday) to almost complete shutdown.
From Level 3 (its current level) to Level 4 (its highest level of restrictions).
Update 11th May 2020:
Extract from Forbes.com
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced Monday 11th May that following the end of a strict two-week lockdown at alert level 3 – which in turned followed a strict lockdown of four and a half weeks at alert level 4 – New Zealand would make the move to alert level 2 starting at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, May 13. Cabinet members will then be reviewing the number of cases and any progress that’s been made before making additional announcements on Monday, May 25.
“We are ready to move into level 2, to open up the economy, but to do it as safely as possible,” Ardern said during the press conference, describing how retail shops, malls, restaurants, movie theaters, cafés, gyms, playgrounds, museums, libraries, markets and other public spaces would reopen Thursday. “All will be required to have physical distancing and strict hygiene measures in place.”
School will be back in session starting Monday, May 18, while on Thursday, May 21, bars will reopen, implementing newly established health and safety requirements: there must be seating and plenty of space between tables and multiple waitstaff must not serve food to just one table.
While gatherings of more than 10 people are not allowed to happen yet – including reservations for large groups at bars and restaurants – seating and spacing measures will be in place at theaters, eateries, cinemas and sporting events to ensure guests are seated far enough apart. “We have done what we can to prioritize opening up businesses but just alter the way that we work within them for the next wee while,” Ardern said.
Update June 8 2020:
On Monday June 8 Jacinda Ardern announced that New Zealand had no active cases and would lift all coronavirus restrictions with the exception of border closures.

India March 24 2020:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ordered the country’s entire 1.3 billion people into “total lockdown” for 21 days, sparking panic buying with shoppers clearing out shelves. This lockdown was subsequently extended to May 3, and again to May 17 by the Home Ministry. It followed a raft of lockdown measures that had already been brought in by individual states and territories. “From 12 midnight today (4.30am AEST Wednesday morning) the entire country will be in lockdown, total lockdown,” Mr Modi said in a national television address to the world’s second most-populous nation.
Indian Railways – one of the world’s biggest networks carrying more than 20 million passengers daily – has cancelled all services except suburban and goods trains. E-commerce giant Amazon, which has a big presence in India, said in a statement on its website that it would only sell “high priority” products to customers.
Following his speech, Modi tweeted: “THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO NEED TO PANIC.” “Essential commodities, medicines etc. would be available. Centre and various state governments will work in close co-ordination to ensure this,” he added. People working in essential services such as hospitals, police and media were exempted from the stay-at-home order, authorities added. A maximum of 20 people would be allowed to attend a funeral.
India has lagged behind other nations in the number of COVID-19 cases confirmed, but there has been a sharp increase in recent days to 519 infections, including 10 deaths, according to the government.
Update 17th May:
Extract from TheHindu.com
Currently, all educational institutions, hotels, movie theatres, malls, gyms, swimming pools, and bars remain shut. Religious and social gatherings are banned. In areas known as Containment Zones where almost everything is shut, movement of people is only allowed for supply of essential goods and services.
India extended the coronavirus lockdown for two more weeks with the fourth phase providing more relaxations outside the containment zones including inter-state movement of buses with mutual consent of states that is expected to be of immediate relief for thousands of migrant workers on the roads. Following a demand made by chief ministers of several states and union territories, depending upon COVID-19 case load, the states were allowed to demarcate their Zones as Red (most restrictive – Taxis not permitted and E-commerce permitted only for essential services), Green (less restrictive – Unrestricted E-commerce permitted, also Taxis, but not buses) and Orange (least restrictive – buses permitted at 50% capacity).
Easing more curbs to step up economic activity, the new guidelines for lockdown 4.0 unveiled by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) till May 31 allowed shops and markets including barber shops, salons and spas (except those in malls) to open with staggered timings. E-commerce companies were also permitted to deliver all goods, including those considered non-essential.
However, the night curfew will remain which meant that all non-essential travel will remain prohibited between 7 pm and 7 am and authorities will ensure strict compliance, the MHA said.
Update 1st June
Domestic flights resumed on Monday May 25 and restrictions were lifted in big cities on Monday June 1. Schools remain closed.
Israel Sunday September 13 2020:
Israel is to impose a new national lockdown to contain the spread of coronavirus - with tough restrictions coming into effect on Jewish new year. The country's second lockdown begins on Friday September 18 and lasts at least three weeks.
A minister has resigned to protest against the restrictions that overlap with important Jewish festivals. Housing Minister Yaakov Litzman, who leads an ultra-Orthodox Jewish party, said the measures would prevent Jewish people from celebrating their religious festivals, including Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, on 27 September. He also threatened to pull his party out of the governing coalition.
Israel, which has a population of about nine million, has reported more than 3,000 new cases a day in recent weeks. In a televised address on Sunday, the prime minister said this had grown to 4,000 daily. The measures he announced will be the most extensive imposed in Israel since the first lockdown, which ran from late March until early May, and include:
Mr Netanyahu acknowledged the disruption the lockdown would cause to Jewish communities celebrating religious holidays that normally see families come together. "This is not the kind of holiday we are used to. And we certainly won't be able to celebrate with our extended families," he said. The restrictions on indoor gatherings will severely impact prayers in synagogues.
Many nations are experiencing second surges of the virus. However most governments are now imposing smaller local lockdowns in affected areas, rather than blanket national ones. Mr. Netanyahu initially had backed a proposal to target coronavirus hot spots, but shifted to a full nationwide lockdown after facing pushback from ultra-Orthodox mayors, who said their offices would refuse to comply with authorities.
