Note: The increase in people gathering as restrictions ease will result in increasing new infections.
Future Lockdowns remain possible; plus some restrictions are expected to remain in place indefinitely -
e.g. mask wearing for some specific settings indoors and public transport; being fully-vaccinated; QR Code check-in; recommended mask wearing when social distancing cannot be maintained; etc.
The information below also includes reopening checklists and cleaning requirements

Some restrictions to help us be 'COVIDSafe' are long term, due to aggressive variants like Delta.
TIPS: Remember to consult multiple health advisories to properly determine circumstances; for example people are not recommended to be closer together for activities with greater risks, such as singing or sport.
