‘Attention turning to the road out’: Scott Morrison outlines conditions to ease lockdown

Prime minister Scott Morrison has outlined the three conditions needed before Australia’s lockdown laws can be eased. The conditions are: increased testing ‘beyond those who are symptomatic’; better contact tracing through the use of technology, likely to involve Australians downloading an app; and local response capabilities which will involve the ability to lock down localised areas with the help of the defence force and Ausmat teams. ‘We will use the next four weeks to ensure that we can get these in place,’ Morrison said, after which Australia’s lockdown rules may be reviewed.
