Australia to allow 10,000-person gatherings in July

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has just announced the proposal – which will largely benefit sporting matches.

He said mid-sized stadiums would be able to have a quarter of their 40,000 seats filled – and the same goes for outdoor cultural events.

Crowds will be allowed if patrons are ticketed and seated, and maintain a 1.5m (4.9ft) distance. Australia’s football codes have been lobbying hard in recent weeks for spectators to return to stadiums.

The allowance falls under Stage 3 – the final phase of the country’s plan to come out of lockdown.

Authorities have also revised a 100-person cap for indoor spaces (workplaces, weddings, funerals) in favour of a four square metres per person rule.
