Meanwhile PM Scott Morrison said the Victorian outbreak was part of \u201cliving with COVID-19\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey have localised outbreaks where they are considering stronger measures in the localised area, rather than having it extended across the state,\u201d the PM said.<\/p>
\u201cThat\u2019s sensible under the circumstances, and we\u2019d hope that that would mean that some of the restrictions could be eased once the risk has passed.<\/p>
\u201cBut this is a practice that\u2019s been placed following other countries. Israel, for example, does exactly the same thing when they have localised outbreaks.<\/p>
\u201cAnd that\u2019s a way that we live with Covid-19. This is part of living with Covid-19. And we will continue on with the process of opening up our economy and getting people back into work.<\/p>
\u201cBut there will be setbacks from time to time, but we have systems to deal with the setbacks.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
