Victoria enters seven day lockdown as Covid-19 cases increase

Residents will only be able to leave their home for five reasons – being to shop for essentials, for authorised work or permitted education, to provide care and for medical and compassionate reasons, to get vaccinated or tested and to exercise for a maximum of two hours.

“I can’t tell you how disappointed I am to have to be here doing this again. But with so few in the community with one vaccination let alone two, I have no choice.” The rise in cases sparked an urgent meeting between Victorian government officials and health authorities on Thursday afternoon. Covid response commander, Jeroen Weimar, said more tests results would be in throughout the day and “will inform the next stage of our public health response”.Covid-19 Commander, Jeroen Weimar, gives an update on the latest coronavirus infection numbers across the state of Victoria. Picture: NCA NewsWire/Ian CurrieEarlier today, Health minister Martin Foley said he had “nothing to say at this time” regarding lockdown.

“We need to look upstream for acquisition sources for these three cases and the further case that Jeroen pointed to from family acquisition that has emerged today and we need to look downstream as to exposure sites. So putting that all together, our public health team will make a risk assessment and will bring forward their decision as and when it’s made.”Victoria’s fifth lockdown ended on July 27 – one which saw the state log six months of lockdown since the start of the pandemic.

Everything’s a nail when you refuse to use anything but a hammer...

Pissing contest between state premiers shitting on each other is playing with peoples lives. Infection rates only be calculated by people who acgually get tested, what about all the people that don't tested. How about sitting on Zero cases for more than a minute this time around.
