Australia to ease restrictions with coronavirus app, return to work to kickstart the economy

Among the countries that have successfully “flattened the curve” and managed to contain the coronavirus, is Australia. The country has managed to keep the viral transmission at bay and has now lifted some restrictions to let its residents return to more normal lives. Along with easing restrictions, the Australian Government launched the COVIDsafe app to help speed up contacting people infected with the virus.
