3 steps to get Australia back on track

The curve has flattened and while the fatalities are coming down, Australia is planning to get back to normal in a step-by-step manner. The phased manner in which this process of getting back to normalcy will happen comes with great vigilance and extreme care.

The restrictions have begun to be eased. People can now get back to the joys of life like going to work, going to shops, eating from an eatery, visiting family and friends, and enjoying time at a park.

The National Cabinet of Australia has met and finalized on a 3-step plan. This plan will ensure that Australia will gradually and surely become a COVID-free nation and ease current restrictions. The plan also is to make sure the COVIDSafe app is used by all the people in the country to stay informed and safe from further infections.

The 3-step program for the states and territories of Australia will be implemented according to the specific conditions existing there. The step by step program goes like this:

Step 1

• A maximum of 5 visitors will be allowed at home.  This will be 10 in businesses and public places.
• If possible, take up the work from home (WFH) option after consulting with employers.
• Shops, restaurants, and cafes will be opened.
• Libraries, playgrounds, community centers, and boot camps will be opened.
• Local and regional travel will be allowed.

Step 2

• Up to 20 people will be allowed to gather at home, business, and public places.
• If possible, take up the work from home (WFH) option after consulting with employers.
• Cinemas, gyms, beauty shops, amusement parks, and galleries will be opened.
• Camping grounds or caravans will be allowed.
• Some interstate travel will begin.

Step 3

• The size of the gatherings allowed will be increased to 100.
• People will return to their workplaces.
• Nightclubs, saunas, and food courts will be opened.
• All interstate travel will be allowed.
• Cross-Tasman, Pacific Island, and international students' travel will be considered to be opened.

Each step is expected to bring the following economic changes in Australia:

• Step 1 will cause $3.1 billion worth of economic activity per month. 250,000 jobs will share the effect of this step.
• Step 2 will cause $3 billion worth of economic activity per month. 275,000 jobs will share the effect of this step.
• Step 3 will cause $3.3 billion worth of economic activity per month. 325,000 jobs will share the effect of this step.
