Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Thursday that the country will keep restrictions on public movement for at least four more weeks.
Australia has avoided high numbers of COVID-19 deaths after closing its borders and imposing strict social distancing measures for the past month.
The country has seen a total of around 6,500 infections and 63 deaths.
Morrison said the rules would not be relaxed until national testing capacity has been increased, contract tracing of known COVID-19 cases expanded and a response to any future outbreak fully prepared.
