Morrison speaking with media - says on road back from coronavirus lockdown
For background, Australia has managed to reduce infection rate dramatically:
The policy was, as is the case elsewhere, to 'flatten the curve'. Which has been done. Even if there is a kick back up ICUs are barely populated and there is an extremely low demand on ventilators, and a huge ramp up in supply. Nurses are complaining of a lack of work (seriously) especially as other (elective) surgeries have been halted. These are about to being again in a slow backing off in restrictions.
With the country seemingly well placed to respond if there is a move back up in infections moves to reopen the economy are beginning.
