New measures: Public gatherings now maximum of two people

The advice is clear - stay at home and keep at least 1.5 metres away from other people wherever possible. Tonight we announced further measures to help slow the spread of the coronavirus and save lives and livelihoods:

ℹ️Public gatherings, excluding household members, have been reduced to a maximum of two people. ℹ️Public playgrounds, outside gyms and skate parks will be closed as from tomorrow. ℹ️Everyone should stay home unless you are: shopping for the things you really need, receiving medical care, exercising or travelling to work or education. ℹ️People aged over 70, aged over 60 with pre-existing conditions, or Indigenous people aged over 50 should stay home wherever possible for their own protection.
