A couple of weeks ago we outlined our plan for the next stage of restrictions easing.
It was cautious. Considered. And it relied 100% on case numbers staying low and stable, and testing remaining high.
Pleased to say that today we can confirm that plan – and take a few more steps along the way.
These include a staggered return to community sport – with full-contact training and competitions for under 18s resuming from 22 June, and everyone back to full competition by 20 July.
Bars and clubs can reopen to seated patrons.
Restaurants will be able to host up to 50.
Cinemas can screen films, and theatres can put on shows.
Shared kitchens and bathrooms at camp grounds and caravan parks can be used again.
And the snow season has got the official green light.
That’s what’s changing.
Here’s what’s not.
If you can work from home, you must continue to work from home. This is absolutely crucial to pulling this off, and it’s no exaggeration to say that every single one of us is part of this solution. We simply won’t be able to take these steps if passenger numbers on the PT network creep up – and there is just no way we can have tens of thousands of people travelling into the city every day while keeping everyone safe.
Three more important things that aren’t changing:
1.) Keep using common sense.
2.) Keep getting tested if you have symptoms.
3.) And keep looking out for each other.
