The Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, announced this afternoon in alignment with advice from Australia’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Brendan Murphy, that from Monday the 16th of March, non-essential gatherings of over 500 people should be cancelled.
Scott Morrison stated, such measures have been put in place as a precautionary method to ensure the transmission of the virus is managed in the best possible way. While mass gatherings are advised against, the Prime Minister has said it is not a ‘ban’ and Australians should go about business as usual.
