Coronavirus australia bans non essential gatherings of over 100 people
That's correct. On March 16, 2020, the Australian government announced a ban on non-essential gatherings of over 100 people in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
The ban applies to all non-essential gatherings, including:
- Public events, such as concerts, festivals, and sporting events
- Community gatherings, such as church services, weddings, and funerals
- Business events, such as conferences and trade shows
- Social gatherings, such as parties and receptions
The ban does not apply to essential gatherings, such as:
- Workplaces, schools, and universities
- Healthcare facilities and hospitals
- Grocery stores and supermarkets
- Pharmacies and medical centers
- Public transportation
The ban is intended to reduce the risk of transmission of the virus by limiting the number of people in close proximity to each other. It is part of a broader effort by the Australian government to slow the spread of the virus and protect public health.
It's worth noting that the ban is subject to change, and the Australian government may impose additional restrictions or modify existing ones as the situation evolves.
