Victoria has recorded 535 new locally acquired COVID-19 infections and one death as Melbourne braces for an anti-lockdown protest rally.

Victoria has 4,974 active coronavirus cases.

The city's CBD will effectively be turned into a no-go zone for Saturday's rally, with most public transport to and from the precinct suspended and a "ring of steel" erected around its fringe.Authorised workers and those with COVID-19 vaccination bookings at two city-based hubs will need to show proof to board limited buses and pass through checkpoints from 8am to 2pm.

Some 2,000 officers will be deployed during Saturday's operation, which will involve road checkpoints, barricades and roving patrols.

Melbourne - you are stuffed. So glad I left before the idiots began multiplying. Poor fella, my country

Meanwhile in Melbourne…

The police should get some dart guns and load them with vaccines. When the protesters show up they can vaccinate the lot of them.

With a whopping 535 cases, I'd say that the top priority for Daniel Andrews is to get this outbreak under control. And stop blaming people from watching sunsets or wanting to play in playgrounds. VictoriaHasFallen

Victoria records 510 COVID-19 cases as state hits 70 per cent first vaccine targetVictoria has reached its first vaccination milestone - but authorities are increasingly concerned about a rise in COVID-19 cases across Melbourne's southern and eastern suburbs. Reporting on Covid should not be cases but population vax %, hospitalisations, intubations & deaths. Cases without serious consequences are irrelevant. Zero covid cases are never gonna happen Victoria has reached a vaccination milestone but the puppet show still goes on. The authorities must enforce restrictions using police presence. The community leaders including unions should actively participate. If the government can’t do the above, Victoria will continue to have high infection rate.
