"It will be done in a staggered and measured and proportionate, a cautious way, but we are opening up. Be in no doubt about that. There will be no turning back," he said.

Victoria's roadmap out of lockdown outlined as state records 507 COVID-19 casesVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews has announced that at 70 per cent double dose vaccination, lockdown will end, hospitality venues can reopen and school students will return to on-site learning for at least part of the week. “Subject to health system capacity.” This is what I wanted to hear freedom day not far away Big BIG mistake.
