There were 17,604 test results processed on Thursday, when 20,752 vaccination doses were delivered at state-run sites.

While Melbourne's lockdown has lifted, heavy restrictions remain: no visitors in the home are allowed and Melburnians must wear a mask both indoors and outdoors as they move about within a 25-kilometre radius of their homes.

Contact tracers are still trying to figure out how four cases in a Reservoir household detected on Wednesday caught the virus, with no links established so far to other cases or exposure sites.

In the absence of having independent verification of the number of Covid cases, we just have to blindly accept whatever the VIC government tells us they are

Then what the government is now waiting for?Victoria just like NSW, Victorian government too pay attention towards international students for their return this year australianinternationalstudents

900000 doses a month for 6 months is needed for 5 million of Vic population of 7 million .Still no herd immunity by Christmas with 1st dose . Note this covid, will keep going on ,till mid 2022 at the earliest only if 70% of pop gets the 2nd dose at 900000 a month by June 2022.

The beast is dead?

I’m sure the crap weather in Melbourne over the past few days have impacted testing. It will jump again from Monday

I'm waiting on GregHuntMP to use this lockdown as an excuse to extend the 'human biosecurity emergency act' for another 12 months and fail to remember he stuffed the vaccine program.

Oh how convenient! The virus suddenly stops infecting people right when lockdown is lifted. What happened too the “highly disturbing” Delta strain that we should all be terrified of?

Seems like 'the-world-over' will experience 'rolling-lockdowns' rollinglockdowns 'Tantrums' of nevermaskers & neversocialdistancers who spread disease & prolong COVID, will NO DOUBT follow. whynot make (1) day officially STONEAGEDAY ShutItDown4_24 SiestaMondays 3daywkend

It's time to lift the 25km lockdown & free people within metro Melbourne. this makes no sense - common or medical. more than 550,000 tests in lockdown. surely surely the beast is in the ground

WOW. That 'highly infectious' strain of the virus, with the time between catching it and passing it on 'faster than ever'. Must have just decided to do the right thing for us Victorians and stop on the same day lockdown finished.

Lockdown restrictions in Melbourne and regional Victoria will ease from this FridayLockdown restrictions will be eased in Melbourne and regional Victoria from 11.59pm this Thursday, authorities have confirmed. Where’s Dan? Victorians want real answers. This is crap! If you aren’t going to lift restrictions on all industries offer financial aid to those going now on 3 weeks no pay Makes no sense for regional Vic to even have restrictions right now, esp. since Melburnians are not allowed to venture out farther than 10km from home now and 25km from Friday.

Stop with your bullllll
