100 person per indoor venue cap for step three to be removed
The odd cases and outbreaks was "anticipated" and that it will not halt the three step process being implemented.
The 100 per person cap for each indoor gathering during step three will be removed, to be replaced by a 4 square meter rule for all premises.
"The four-square metre rule continues to be reviewed by the AHPPC - the medical expert panel - and further work is being done on that, particularly for much smaller premises."
The PM added the rule would also apply to funerals.
For outdoor sporting events, during step three, the government will allow attendance of up to 25 per cent capacity at stadiums that have a capacity of less then 40,000, The events will have to be ticketed and seated.
That rule will extend to festivals if there are seats and the event is ticketed, however...
"If we're talking about sort of large folk festivals where people sort of roam around from tent to tent, and gathering to gathering, that is not something that is being talked about here," the PM said.
"This is not something that's happening straightaway ... that's in July.
"I have no doubt there will be some view about restrictions [in bars and toilet areas of stadiums] because they tend to be the areas where people would congregate and gather, and that obviously presents risk, but when we're talking about people who have bought a ticket - so we know who's bought a ticket, we know where they're seated - then that enables those sorts of gatherings to take place in that structured way."
Venues greater than 40,000 will not be permitted to have spectators. This will require "much more significant work."
Nightclubs are not on the agenda.
"We've seen overseas, nightclubs is one area of failures."
