This article is about the new rules which the Prime Minister announced. The PM limits outdoor gathering people to two and the aged people should stay at home to protect them from the Coronavirus. In my opinion, there are some advantages to reduce the gathering and ask people to stay at home. Today, there are more than 4,250 Coronavirus cases in Australia and the virus spread very fast. Staying at home and reducing the gatherings can stop the spread and protect people safely. I strongly believe that the new rules are beneficial to protect the people from the Coronavirus.
