Most Australians adhering to social distancing guidelines, official statistics show

Australians appear to be sticking to social distancing guidelines during the COVID-19 crisis, according to the Bureau of Statistics. 

Data for the first week of April shows 98 percent of the thousand people surveyed were social distancing, 88 percent avoiding public places and 87 percent using hand sanitiser more often.

However, the ABS says around 3 percent of people with a job in March didn't have one in April. 

ABC's Peter Ryan explains.
