Here in Australia the Prime Minister outlines a broad outline of what is expected during a stage 3 lockdown for the nation .However each state has a Minister that interprets what is essential for that state under those guidelines .
Some states have far greater infections than other states and so more stricter control is needed , whereas some states with very few infections or even no infections for days , feel they can ease up on restrictions and ease back a bit more
I don`t see any problems with the way things are handled here .One size doesn`t fit all .Common sense needs to prevail.
