PM hints wearing face masks in public is next virus strategy
More and more Australians could be told to wear face masks in public in the future, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has hinted.
Speaking on Triple M Melbourne, Mr Morrison confirmed that the best health advice from government was for Melburnians to wear face masks when around others if they cannot social distance.
"Now I suspect that will probably start occurring in other states," he said.
It might be a precautionary principle they operate in outbreak areas, and that would be a very sensible thing to do."
If this eventuates, this could affect Casula in Sydney's south-west, where a spiralling outbreak is causing increasing concern to the federal and state government.
Yesterday, the Federal Government released five million face masks from its national stockpile for virus-hit Victoria. Wearing masks in Victoria is currently not mandated, but advised.
Despite the deadly surge in Victoria, Mr Morrison said at present he was not in favour of another nationwide shutdown, even if a second wave of the virus began to hit other states and territories.
"Your protection against the virus is not shutting everything down all the time," he said, mirroring recent remarks from NSW Premier Gladys Berejikilian.
Mr Morrison said "the cure would be worse" than the impact of the virus if he were to roll out stringent measures and force mass closures of businesses.
"You don't just shut the whole country down because that is not sustainable," he said.
"I've heard that argument. There'll be doubling unemployment potentially, and even worse.
"The cure would be worse than what, arguably, wouldn't be delivered anyway because as we've seen with the outbreak in Victoria it came from a breach in quarantine."
He said it was illogical to imagine Australia functioning if it was isolated from the rest of the world.
But the prime minister did suggest stage four restrictions could be imposed on Victorians, where record-breaking triple figure case numbers have been reported over the past nine days.
"My understanding is Premier [Daniel] Andrews hasn't ruled [stage four] out," Mr Morrison said.
"I mean he's not ruling anything out, which is understandable in the circumstances."
The infections in two aged-care homes in Melbourne were of real concern to authorities.
Mr Morrison said plans were underway to move people out of those nursing homes into "other facilities, hospital facilities".
Much had been learned from tragic death tolls in two Sydney aged-care homes in the pandemic's first wave, he said.
The prime minister also defended the government's CovidSafe app, branded by some a $2million failure.
Critics taking "potshots" were "undermining" confidence in the technology, he said.
