Easing of Australia restrictions 'not too far away'published at 03:37 British Summer Time 29 April 2020
Here's some more from the Australian leader's press conference. Scott Morrison reiterated that authorities would consider easing social restrictions from 11 May.
"[It] is not too far away and you're already seeing that happen with many states and territories," he said.
New South Wales, Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia have all loosened some household movement restrictions this week.
However, Mr Morrison reiterated that attendance at sports matches and church services was unlikely to resume "for a while".
"I look forward to the time where [Australians] can sit down for a meal at a restaurant or a cafe or a pub again.
"But I can't see them going along to a game for a while, those larger mass gatherings."
