GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA - APRIL 08: Beach Closed at Surfers Paradise beach on April 08, 2020 in Gold Coast, Australia. A number of major Gold Coast beaches have been closed over COVID-19 concerns. Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate announced The Spit, Surfers Paradise and Coolangatta beaches would be closed ahead of the Easter long weekend to avoid people travelling to the area. Other beaches will remain open to Gold Coast residents only. The Australian government has introduced further restrictions on movement and gatherings in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Public gatherings are now limited to two people, while Australians are being urged to stay home unless absolutely necessary. New South Wales and Victoria have also enacted additional measures to allow police the power to fine people who breach the two-person outdoor gathering limit or leave their homes without a reasonable excuse. Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory have all closed their borders to non-essential travellers and international arrivals into Australia are being sent to mandatory quarantine in hotels for 14 days.
