Australia bans gatherings of more than 2 even as coronavirus daily infection rate declines by half
Australia has imposed further coronavirus restrictions -- including limiting public gatherings to just two people -- even as the rate of daily infections has been cut in half in recent days.
The new restrictions require Australians to stay home unless shopping for essentials, exercising, going to work or visiting a doctor, Reuters reports.
Those over 70 were told to self-isolate.
“Anyone who doesn’t need to be out of their home should be in the home,” said Brendan Murphy, Australia’s chief medical officer, according to Reuters. “This is radical.”
Health officials credit social distancing measures with helping to slow the spread.
“We feel reasonably confident that we are detecting a significant majority of the cases in Australia,” Murphy said.
Officials, however, are worried about the rise in community transmission, especially in New South Wales and Victoria, where half of Australia’s 25.5 million people live.

The Journal, which cited six people familiar with the discussions, said frustration with Azar was growing but the administration was reluctant to make big changes while the country was seeking to stop the virus, which causes the respiratory disease COVID-19 and has killed more than 53,000 people in the United States. A White House spokesman told the newspaper that there was no plan to replace Azar and called talk of replacing him "speculation and a distraction." Politico said the shortlist of names to replace Azar included Deborah Birx, the White Hous...
