Two Gold Coast beaches reopened at midday today after being closed earlier this month due to coronavirus concerns.

“I still want to discourage out-of-towners from coming to our beaches,” he said.

The beaches have been off-limits since April 7 after authorities said some beach-goers had been seen flouting social-distancing rules despite repeated warnings.
