Home and Away has set a return date for Australia after being taken off air due to coronavirus.
The Australian soap, which has been broadcast on a reduced schedule on Channel 5 in the UK amid the coronavirus pandemic, has been off air Down Under to allow Channel Seven to use the peak time slot to cover the ongoing health crisis.
But now fans have been told when it will be back.
