澳洲新闻 (ABC新闻快递) 全球新冠肺炎确诊病例超200万 特朗普暂停资助世卫组织

The split between federal and state governments over school shutdowns will be the focus of today's national cabinet meeting, as governments try to find a coordinated¹ approach. The leaders will discuss ways to protect the health of staff and students, and also plan how and when kids can return to the classroom en masse. Scott Morrison's intervention² yesterday, calling on teachers to keep schools open, has exposed the gap between some states and the federal government. Almost a million Victorian students began remote learning yesterday, and are being told it's not safe for schools to open in term two. Queensland and the Northern Territory begin term two next week.
