BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA - MARCH 28: Voters are seen keeping a distance at Brisbane City Hall on March 28, 2020 in Brisbane, Australia. Queensland local government elections and two state by-elections are going ahead on Saturday, despite concerns about people gathering at polling stations amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Authorities will be imposing social distancing measures, and with a record number of pre-poll and postal votes, believe the risk of spreading the coronavirus is low compared to other day-to-day activities like visiting the supermarket. The Federal Government has introduced strict measures in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, requiring Australians to practise social distancing when outside their homes, banning large indoor and outdoor gatherings and limiting international and domestic travel to essential, work-related or compassionate only. All libraries, museums, galleries, beauty salons, tattoo parlours, shopping centre food courts, auctions, open houses, amusement parks, arcades, indoor and outdoor play centres, swimming pools are closed and indoor exercise activities are now banned along with bars, pubs, casinos and nightclubs. Restaurants and cafes are restricted to providing takeaway only. Weddings are now restricted to five people including the couple while funerals are limited to 10 mourners. All Australians are now expected to stay at home except for essential outings such as work, grocery shopping and medical appointments. Exercising outdoors alone is still permitted. Australia is approaching 3000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 while the death toll now stands at 13. (Photo by Jono Searle/Getty Images)
