Livestock auctions are able to continue, Agriculture Minister David Littleproud confirmed on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are an essential part of the broader agriculture supply chain,\u201d Minister Littleproud said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are different to real estate auctions because of their importance to the nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government is working tirelessly to safeguard the supply chain from the farm to the market.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn particular, interruptions to livestock saleyards could impact adversely on the availability and price of meat.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike the rest of Australia, livestock saleyards and wool auctions will need to comply with strict social distancing and hygiene practices.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis includes no more than one person per four square metres at indoor auctions and any other particular requirements of your jurisdiction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWash your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, avoid touching your face and if sick, stay home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thank the National Auction Selling Committee and the individual saleyards that have already taken steps to implement social distancing protocols.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I ask those involved to please consider if their livestock saleyards and wool auctions can be held online, remotely, deferred or be cancelled to do so.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgriculture and food security are critical to Australia at the best of times. They are even more so during this the COVID-19 crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
