Hi Chi, we do think that a contributing reason to people believing they can relax the social distancing rules is because of students returning to schools. However, we also think that one of the main reasons to this is due to the fact that until recently, case numbers were dropping and so people felt safe to visit their family and friends again
Do you believe that individuals in society believe that they can relax social distancing policies and coronavirus restrictions since students have gone back to school? I know that many people believe that schools are clusters of COVID-19 cases, despite research which was backed by Scott Morrison showing that there is a low level of transmission between school-aged students. Is that potentially why the numbers of cases caused by community transmission have increased in Victoria, and why the Victorian government had to toughen restrictions?
