UPDATE - Reintroductions of some Restrictions to COVIDsafe Settings:
Mask wearing indoors is again mandatory in all situations, for all aged eight and over; with new outdoors requirements to always wear a mask when not seated at any large events (>30,000 people); plus wear a mask when social distancing cannot be maintained. As case numbers soar, such actions are required to: protect everyone, including the vulnerable; and to permit the health system to cope.
Some venues again have density quotient restrictions (DQ2), yet churches not yet affected.
