Queensland Border Closed to September: Premier
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says that state borders may remain closed till September to reduce the risk of reinfection occurring due to interstate travel.
This comes as infection rates slow across the country with sporadic flare-ups in Victoria and New South Wales
Palaszczuk is optimistic about opening the borders to the rest of Australia but warns caution and that things can change rapidly in these conditions.
COVID-19 Restrictions Ease
Since the restrictions being recently lifted in Queensland allowing more travel, more activities, and larger gatherings Queensland currently has two new cases of the coronavirus.
Further restrictions are planned to be lifted in June and July, however everyone needs to continue playing their part to protect themselves and the more vulnerable in the community.
A total of 1,037 Queenslanders (98 per cent of total cases) have now recovered from COVID-19.
Enderie: 3
- Nothing if not prolific, nothing if not always changing it up, nothing if not following his own beat, repurposing the musical sounds of the world into part of his slightly intimidating collage of noise: this is Enderie. He's probably best known for his work as Cured Pink (or part of it), which can be vaguely, messily circumscribed with the description dub-noise-rock (??). What must run a close second in notoriety, are his very regular forays into the world of dance music.

"Death Clock" installed in New York to track preventable COVID-19 deaths
A large clock has been installed in Times Square in New York displaying the number of preventable COVID-19 deaths in the United States.
Its creator, Eugene Jarecki, has been outspoken about the dangers of delaying action and wants people to realise how devastating the week-long delay in implementation of social distancing measures has been on American’s health. Currently, the US has the highest COVID-19 death toll in the world.
