Big announcements today: our lockdown is easing. Face masks are still required indoors (not at home), but only outdoors if we can't distance. Office workers will begin to return to the office from 30 November, but only to 25% capacity. I'm hoping I won't be one of the 25% (and I don't think I will be), as I'm not keen on wearing a mask all day if I can avoid it. You can have up to fifteen visitors a day at home, which is an astounding amount to me - I don't know fifteen people who would all want to visit me at once - but which means my mother can return to her fortnightly card afternoons.
There has been a kerfuffle across the border in South Australia this week. They had a couple of cases - hotel quarantine cases that got into the community - including one that seemed to have been transmitted to a man picking up a pizza, suggesting it might be a super-contagious new strain. They went into immediate hard lockdown. Only then, it emerged that the man wasn't picking up a pizza, he was actually working in the pizza place*, so it wasn't brief contact at all, and they immediately released the lockdown. And the headline today was: "Finally SA restrictions ease". Finally? It was three days, South Australia. Talk to us when you've done three months.
*Illegally, so he lied to the contract tracers. Which suggests to me they need to work harder on their "we won't tell the tax office, we just need to know where you've been" spiel.
