We cannot throw away all of the sacrifices and hard work that we as a nation have made collectively together over the past few months to contain the virus. It is critical that all of us, every single one of us, continues to ensure we do not put the lives of others at risk, the livelihoods of our families and our friends at risk and, most importantly, the most vulnerable Australians at risk. We all need to ensure that we exercise an abundance of caution and follow the medical advice on the additional and practical steps that we all need to take, including: staying 1.5 metres away from other people whenever and wherever possible; maintaining good handwashing and coughing and sneezing hygiene; staying at home if we're unwell; and getting tested if we have respiratory symptoms or a fever. We've shown what we can achieve together. Let's not throw it away. (Time expired)
