The people of Tasmania have to wait for the easing of restrictions amid COVID-19.<\/p>\n
Though the premiere of the state has flagged that the easing measures would likely to kick start with parks, reserves and recreation spaces, the government official has not announced any date yet, on when the life of Tasmanians might begin returning to normalcy, he has said that the same will be reviewed after analysing the lead-up to May 15.<\/p>\n
“I am hopeful that in the coming weeks the advice from Public Health will be that we can begin loosening some restrictions, however, this will only occur if the health risk is low,” Mr Gutwein (Premier of Tasmania) said.<\/p>\n
The Premier also said that the border restrictions of Tasmania would remain the same as the region\u2019s “strongest defence against the coronavirus for some time.”<\/p>\n
The coronavirus-free ACT, with no active cases, became the first Australia jurisdiction to neutralise COVID-19 by and has no formalised plan to wind back restrictions.<\/p>\n
