Victoria records 74 new cases, with public housing tenants in lockdown to receive hardship payments

Mr Andrews said a record 21,500 Victorians were tested in a single day on Saturday, with almost a million tests having taken place so far in the state.Credit:Of the new cases, 16 have been traced to known outbreaks, one is a returned traveller in hotel quarantine, four were from tests carried out at testing locations or GPS, and the rest are under investigation.

The restrictions on the residents of these buildings are tighter than the stay-at-home orders in place in 12 Melbourne postcodes, where people can only leave to go to work or study, to provide care, to buy groceries or to get exercise. More than 27 cases have so far been detected among 12 households in the large public housing towers. The source of the cluster is not yet known and hundreds of residents may have already been exposed to the virus in the close confines of the flats.a message for those residents: this is not about punishment but protection,” he said.

Manchurian Chairman Dan should be promoted within the CCP, in our new SAR HK.

Still no deaths, not even of sick old people, who were going to die of the flu, all while half the workforce is dying an economic death.

Who is responsible for the hotel quarantine bungle ? Victorian Health Department ? Victorian Health Minister ? Surely need a proper procedure and strict safety protocols ...

Victoria is the poor man of Australia, Andrews must go.

This prick won’t admit he stuffed up by letting the BLM march happen. He is so irresponsible. At the same time if 40k people in a confined space marching don’t get covid then why are people being locked up? Why social distance. He needs to admit he’s wrong and resign

RonniSalt Hardship payments won't do shit when they can't leave their flat to go buy food.

Go Dan! We would have thousands of cases with O'Brien (who?).

Victoria the State of Fear. Fear of getting Covid, fear of people spreading it, fear fear fear. Wake up, you are being coerced into submission whilst jobs and businesses and your right to life is being crumpled

So basically immigrants getting more free money?

How many were contracted through sexual intercourse though?

Once the pandemic is over disperse the 3000 residents to suburban areas, create construction jobs and demolish these high rises to create community areas, open spaces.

The lockdown was to protect the integrity of our health system and those that work therein Why have things changed?

WHY IS THE AGE SO HYSTERICAL, THE POPULATION OF VICTORIA IS 6.6 FUCKING MILLION

Mate we had hard lockdown here in NZ - what I see happening back in Victoria is not hard lockdown - it’s a joke

Glass half full : less than 30 in hospital & only 3 in ICU. Keep up the good work & keep the really vulnerable safe. Until we get a vaccine, there won’t be Zero active cases.

When will VicGovDHHS and the Government outline how many cases per suburb? It’ll show no cases in Kensington yet we’re lumped with Flemington. Unfair and a lazy attempt to control the outbreak. We talk about oppression in Hong Kong, it’s just as bad here.

No rent. Free meals. Where do I sign up?

can we start using better photos please. Imagery is very important in the way the public views public figures and now is bot the time for political shots, as a country we need to come together. Not that my tweet is going to do anything to change any of your editors minds.

Great to see numbers on the way down! We’re almost there and back to normal real soon 😁

Isn’t this rewarding non compliance..? Give them food, help, medical, mental health support, yes,,,, but what will a hardship payment achieve? I though ppl in housing commission were struggling or could not get work, I can see it from all the late model cars in their car parks.

DictatorDan CedarAndrews

Very glad hardship payments being made.

Also pleaded for donations from the community 😲......and last week Andrews spent $4 million on an inquiry to avoid answering questions about his quarantine lockdowns at Melbourne hotels that ended in disaster. Federal Government must step in and control Victoria's health.

At least it’s a decrease for a change.

In the meantime shopping centres, cafes, and cinemas are full... weird situation.

Daniel Andrews thinks he can buy sanity of Public Housing Tenants a known CPTSD 'Client Target Group' who he's 'Wrongfully Imprisoned.' We CALL michaelobrienmp for the IMMEDIATE Dismissal of CCP Counteraxial DanielAndrewsMP by Governor & referral to AusFedPolice. :| Auspol

With who's money Dan? Your mismanagement has bankrupted the state.

Everyone stay at home! Seriously ,it can’t be that hard.

It’s the ‘Under investigation’ counts that scare me. Everyone just needs to stay at home for July ffs !! Dan stuffed up with the hotel quarantine guards but we all just need to help out now and stay home

Need anaother few more drops in a row of 20+ fingers crossed 🤞

Someone !!! Give that man a red rubber nose and some floppy oversized shoes.

Excellent news.

Lock the whole state down now DanielAndrewsMP

Andrews screwed up by using security guards instead of police or army at quarantine hotels. He has to fix this. He's doing a good job overall, but he has to recognise this mistake and take action.

Coronavirus Australia update LIVE: Global cases surpass 11.1 million, two more postcodes and nine public housing towers in lockdown in Victoria; Australia death toll at 104COVID-19 continues to spread both in Australia and around the globe with over 11.1 million cases reported. This is what happens when you don’t have an honourable 4th estate. Coronavirus is a measure of people intelligence and social responsibility . Most of the world has defeated it by wearing masks and listening to scientists. The USA will soon have 100,000 new cases per day because Trump is without question the dumbest President on the planet. How about being objective & mention the severity of the 'New cases', the sex of the individuals, the false positives & how many ICU & Hospitalizations there is. But no, too difficult for you Emotionalists Presstitute hacks

Where Victoria’s new cases of coronavirus are coming fromBREAKING: Victoria has recorded 74 new coronavirus cases overnight as community transmissions continue to increase. auspol I have noticed how silent things have gotten down this way in Geelong in the past week or so (except the shopping centers - given), seems people have taken it upon themselves to change their behavior accordingly, we may have no other option. There is a lack of ongoing information. With regards to “ongoing investigation” what happens with these...

Melbourne public housing units locked down as Victoria records 108 new coronavirus casesResidents of nine public housing estates in inner Melbourne will be required to stay in their homes due to an outbreak of coronavirus cases. Daniel Andrews is now locking people in their apartments CCP style. Any reasonable person must see how that this is out of control authoritarianism that should have no place in our society. This is absolutely absurd. Many of these residents have addictions, mental health issues or experience domestic violence. Some regularly use the safe injecting rooms. How will 5 days in lockdown help this? They are at a great risk of hardship and risk to themselves. I hope they will be individually ensuring the economic and other safety and well-being of those residents
