Coronavirus Restrictions Ease Further As Australia's COVID-19 Infection Rate Continues To Decline

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - JUNE 01: Jeff O'Meara owner operator of the Elgin Inn Hotel in Hawthorn stands behind the bar on June 01, 2020 in Melbourne, Australia. He says that definitely without the Jobkeeper scheme he would not have been able to open and keep staff employed. His pub opened at midday today for patrons and is offering three sittings throughout the day for meals. Restrictions continue to ease around Australia in response to the country's declining COVID-19 infection rate. In Victoria, museums, zoos and galleries can reopen while restaurants, pubs and cafes can serve meals for up to 20 patrons. Beauty salons, spas and tattoo parlours can also open for up to 20 people. Gatherings of up 20 people in a home, overnight stays at private residences and tourist accommodations and greater numbers at weddings, funerals and religious ceremonies are also permitted as of 1 June 2020. In New South Wales, beauty salons, tanning salons and nail bars can reopen from 1 June, along with museums, zoos and galleries while pubs, clubs, cafes and restaurants will also be able to serve up to 50 customers at a time. Traveling to regional NSW for a holiday will be allowed again. Restrictions in South Australia also continue to ease from Monday June 1, with cinemas, theatres, galleries, museums, beauty salons, gyms and indoor fitness centres across the state able to reopen. Those venues, along with pubs, bars, restaurants and cafes, will be able to admit up to 80 patrons, provided they can contain them to groups of 20 or less. Any business opening to patrons must allow four square metres for every one person inside, and ensure 1.5-metre social distancing is observed. (Photo by Asanka Ratnayake/Getty Images)
