As of midday of Monday 23 March, new restrictions to curb the spread of Coronavirus are in force.


The Australian way of life now looks very different.

Late on Sunday night ((22 Mar)), Prime Minister Scott Morrison revealed new measures to restrict the spread of the Coronavirus.

Having closed the borders to non residents and put in place bans on large gatherings, The Federal Government will now begin to close some businesses to try and reduce the rate of community transmission.

Mr Morrison says the measures will be in place for some time.
