Melbourne returns to lockdown

Patrick Durkin

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has confirmed a six week lockdown for metropolitan Melbourne after a
record 191 new cases.

"These are unsustainably high numbers of new cases. It is simply impossible with case rates at this level to have enough contact tracing staff, to have enough physical resources no matter where they come from, no matter what uniform they wear, in order to continue to suppress and contain this virus without taking significant steps," Mr Andrews said.

"If we were to fail to take those steps, then it won't be a couple of hundred cases per cay, it will be many more than that and will spiral well and truly out of control."

The stage three lockdown from midnight tomorrow night mean residents will once again have only four reasons to leave their home.

The lockdown will also apply to Shire of Mitchell, the local government area in the Hume region of Victoria, north of Melbourne.
