Coronavirus banned activities: The high-risk things Australians are still not allowed to resume

Australians are still not allowed to do certain activities despite states lifting restrictions. Here are all the things that’ll take the longest to re-open.

Restrictions are being lifted all over the country but there are still some things that Australians are not allowed to do.

Here are the high-risk activities that we’ll be waiting the longest to re-open.

STAND UP AT A PUB

It will likely take a while for other states to catch up with the NT, where you can already get a beer without having to order food, and you don’t have to be seated in order to drink it.

Punters in Victoria have to wait until June 22, to be able to enjoy a drink in a pub or a club without ordering a meal. Restrictions requiring punters to be seated will also remain.

In NSW, ACT, Queensland, Tasmania, Western Australia and South Australia you can already enjoy a drink without food but you have to be seated.

There’s no indication yet of when this might change.

GO DANCING AT A NIGHTCLUB

Again the Northern Territory is leading the pack, with nightclubs already open in the state.

Victoria has said it will allow nightclubs to re-open on June 22 but there will be seated service only and dance floors will remain closed.

In Western Australia, clubbers also have to remain seated while drinking.

Queensland plans to re-open nightclubs on July 10, while NSW has said it may consider reopening nightclubs in August.

Nightclubs are still unable to open in South Australia, Tasmania and ACT.

PLAY IN YOUR SOCCER COMP

For those itching to get back into their sporting competitions, relief is on its way.

Victoria will allow outdoor competition of contact sports from June 21, games in South Australia will resume on June 25, NSW and Queensland will restart on July 10 and ACT has also flagged it will resume from July.

Tasmania has said it may make changes from June 26.

Sport has already restarted in NT and WA.

TRAVEL INTERSTATE

Prime Minister Scott Morrison is eager for state borders to reopen but not every state feels ready to let visitors in.

NSW and Victoria don't have border restrictions but other states are not so easy going.

The Northern Territory relaxed its border controls this week but visitors will still have to quarantine for 14 days. The good news is, the state is to allow people to do this in a place of their own choosing, rather than in mandatory hotels.

Queensland has set a July 10 target to reopen borders and is also exploring a possible travel bubble with NSW.

South Australia will re-open its borders from July 20, and travellers from other states will no longer need to quarantine for 14 days.

A date for changes to border restrictions in Tasmania has not been set but is likely to be late July.

Western Australia is the only state that may not lift its borders in July.

GO TO A MUSIC FESTIVAL

Music lovers may be waiting a long time for the return of music festivals, especially those where people “roam around” from tent to tent.

The PM has identified music festivals as a high-risk activity that would be difficult to re-open under social distancing guidelines.

“There would need to be seats at the appropriate distance. It would need to be ticketed, and so people would be able to understand who was in attendance at that event,” he said.

Even in the Northern Territory, major events are being approved on a case-by-case basis.

There is some hope though. NSW has said it would look at relaxing restrictions for large gatherings such as running festivals and music festivals by August 1 if community infections remain low.

TAKE YOUR KIDS TO AN INDOOR PLAYGROUND

Play centres in Western Australia, Northern Territory, Tasmania and ACT are open but kids in other states will have to wait a bit longer.

Victoria will allow centres to reopen on June 21 and Queensland centres are expected to be back in mid-July.

NSW and South Australia have not yet revealed plans for re-opening.

SEE A GAME AT LARGE STADIUM

The possibility of live crowds at football games is edging closer after PM Scott Morrison announced on Friday that stage three restrictions would allow stadiums with a capacity of less than 40,000 people, to accommodate up to 10,000 people.

South Australia has announced it would introduce the new rule on June 29.

Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan said the state may allow Perth’s 60,000-seat Optus Stadium to exceed the 10,000 limit and hold more than the 40,000 people thanks to its low rates of infection.

NSW has given the green light for games to return from July 1 with the state government allowing stadiums to operate at 25 per cent capacity.

It means NRL clubs may return to play at their regular home grounds from the start of July.

ARLC chair Peter V’landys is hoping for unlimited crowds by August 1.

Melbourne is due to host a NRL game on July 2 but it’s unclear if the Victorian government will allow AAMI Park to open their gates crowds by then.

Queensland chief medical officer Jeanette Young is confident the state government will soon allow fans back into their venues.

Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium has a capacity of 52,500.

“I don’t know about next weekend but I think it’ll be reasonably soon that we should be able to see a return to spectators in our stadiums,” Young said. “That work’s happening as we speak.”

GO TO A STRIP CLUB OR OTHER ADULT VENUE

Strip clubs are still closed in NSW, ACT, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania.

In Queensland sole operate sex workers are able to provide online or phone services with the possibility of reopening from July 10.

Venues are open in Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

PLAY THE POKIES

Casinos and other gambling venues are still closed in South Australia, Western Australia, ACT and Tasmania, although TAB and Keno have re-opened in some states.

Queensland will allow venues to re-open on July 10 while Victoria is expected to reopen venues on July 20.

NSW and NT have already opened their venues.
