Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy says "it's far too early" for restrictions to be eased, urging Australians "it's not time to be complacent" as Australia continues to see a downward trend on COVID-19 cases. "There's no possibility of large scale relaxation in the short term," Mr Murphy said. "At the moment, the sort of discussions we're having with National Cabinet is the need to stay the current course for some weeks but if we do get some good continued trends." "If we see that fade away to almost nothing, it may be possible to have discussions." Mr Murphy confirmed 33 new cases overnight bringing the national total to 6,322 cases. Image: Getty
