close the schools and unis immediately. We are all going to hurt but it is going to hurt worse if we don't do it right.
This is a statement we are hearing often when it comes to the schools. The government obviously have their reasons and they are the experts after all, not the general public. Surely they would have already closed the schools if they thought it necessary.

Lots of conflicting evidence around. I've seen reports overseas and from previous pandemics that closing those two are one of the best ways to slow down community spread. The government's argument here is that staying home from school means they will bounce around elsewhere and infect more people anyway - not sure that makes sense (Except as a way to keep the economy alive longer).

Anyway - big news - Australia and NZ borders closed to all non citizens pretty much immediately.
