After answering 45,000 questions in March, ABC News has responded to another 15,000 questions about COVID-19 from April, with the focus shifting from symptoms and testing to the road ahead. Questions about the science, communication and technology were answered, as well as questions about the Australian strategy for moving to the next phase. One reader asked if it was known if COVID-19 can mutate yet, and whether that might mean creating a vaccine is pointless. The publication by ABC News comes hot on the heels of Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announcing last week that Australia would be easing its COVID-19 restrictions in a three-stage process.

Tony Stuart, who is leading the NFP coronavirus committee established by the National COVID-19 Coordination Commission this month, says the NFP sector can make a significant contribution to the community during the COVID-19 crisis beyond. Mr Stuart, who is the CEO of UNICEF Australia and the chair of the Charity, Philanthropy and Fundraising Advisory Group, told Pro Bono News the group aimed to identify the barriers charities faced when providing services. He said tackling dropping giving levels and charity red tape will be the top priorities of the newly established NFP working group to ensure charities can assist during and after coronavirus. The NFP coronavirus committee will also work to highlight the ways in which the NFP sector can make a significant contribution to the community during the crisis and the rebuilding phase of COVID-19, added Mr Stuart.Posted on 29/05/2020 by
