|Updated:
Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced on April 3 that churches would be considered places of work for Easter and religious services, which means more than two people would be allowed, as long as social distancing rules are followed. This provides churches with clarity, allowing them to carry on with plans to live-stream Easter services.

Classifying places of worship as “workplaces” ensures that religious services, including on Easter, remain open to congregations.
