Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has confirmed health authorities are considering putting coronavirus hotspots in lockdown as the state recorded another jump in daily COVID-19 figures. 9News

But localised stay-at-home orders were on the table.

The huge number of tests conducted meant those results would most likely take until Tuesday to process. Among today's new COVID-19 cases are another staff member at a Coles distribution centre in Laverton, south-west of Melbourne.

I can’t believe anyone is still falling for this garbage! Diversion tactic to avoid scrutiny into his corrupt government.

Just give the people a placebo vaccine so the rest of us can get on with our lives.. phantomflu

Swift action is what you need, not sitting there by “considering” this & tht! The affected area known as hot spot shd place under lockdown to prevent further spread but unfortunately you did nothing but talking. The testing is a joke when it’s not mandatory for return traveller.

He couldnt shut a shopping mall for 6 months let alone suburbs 🙄

Dont mention the protests BlackLivesMatter

get ready for the dictator tweets from conservatives...

Close the border with Vic and move the grand final to the SCG.

This is all a complete clown show... these people have no idea. The unintended & unseen consequences of these actions are massive and extremely harmful.

Blasted spell check!!! Covid-19 NOT coved-19!!!!

DanielAndrewsMP You done the talk about how do deal with the coved-19 breakout, Now we want do the actions needed to deal with it..... No point talking about it, what if’s and buts with costing etc. and wasting time. Make a decsion and ACT on it and fix the issue!!!!

Good idea! School holidays and travelling interstate could spell disaster!

OzSpam Stop talking - Do!!!

Your states new owners thank you for your efforts DanielAndrewsMP

If there's one thing we've learnt, it's that time is of the essence. Early, decisive action helps prevent widespread infections. The hotspot suburbs should've been placed in lockdown as soon as they were known. No time to sit and 'consider'.

Treasonous dictatorship. Take back control of your rights and freedoms. Do not comply. 0.000004% fatality rate. Wakethefuckup

Lockdown doesn't work. The rest of the world has figured that out... Good to see Australia keeping up....

I blame twump! Twuuuuump!!! Froth, screech, hiss okkaren

Maybe contemplate a new premier instead?

Scamdemic

Very convenient the epidemic starting up again there when the focus was on the Labor Victorian government with corruption!
