A report from the Grattan Institute has warned the easing of restrictions could put Australia at risk of a second wave of coronavirus infections.


Easing restrictions too soon could trigger a second wave of coronavirus infections in Australia.

That's a warning from the Grattan Institute's new report , 'Coming out of COVID-19 lockdown: the next steps for Australian health care'.
