Victorian COVID-19 positive cases who are not at home to be hit with $5000 fine

Melbourne childcare arrangements still being discussed, as stage four restrictions come into effect on ThursdayMr Andrews said he did not want to deter people from getting tested by threatening them with a fine.

"I think the case has been pretty well made, if you have symptoms sufficient to get tested then the assumption has got to be that you have got it and that means stay at home, don't go to work," he said.Victoria's death toll now stands at 147 after the state recorded 11 additional deaths and 439 new cases of COVID-19 in the past 24 hours.as residents bunker down for the second day of stage four restrictions.

"It is a confronting and challenging set of issues and I am deeply grateful to those staff who are stepping up and doing that important work."Victoria Police members stop motorists leaving metropolitan Melbourne at a checkpoint set up on the on the Calder Freeway.Dozens of Victorians have breached Melbourne's curfew since it came into effect over the past 48 hours, Police Minister Lisa Neville said.

"So somebody who decided they were bored and they were going to go out for a drive, somebody who decided that they needed to buy a car after 8pm last night, drive across the city of Melbourne and we've also seen people who have picked up people from other households, again breaching the direction and then also briefing the curfew. All of those people were infringed last night."Members of the Australian Defence Force patrol the streets in Melbourne, Australia.

Sounds obvious...

So all the positive cases were allowed to go out and exercise. When I'm sick I'm too sick to exercise 🤔

Huh... so infected people have been allowed out and about previously? 🤦‍♀️ OMG

Well you might want to get accurate testing methods first.

Outdoors is the safest place ffs

They shoudn't have been able to leave their homes PERMANENT. Bugger this jogging as an excuse not to wear your mask, if you need to exercise, then mow your bloody lawn.

They were allowed to leave their homes? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Are all these fines just their plan to be able to pay for all the free money they are handing out to people?

Good decision but like most of Dan's decisions should have happened sooner.

Those 800 people could not be found in thrr weir homes & who should have been isolating should know better! It’s not our Premier Dan Andrew’s fault for spreading COVID, those COVIDIOTS! IStandWithDan weareallinthistogether and suffered!

what....... they could leave before, what is wrong with people, i give up

Why the heck were they allowed to in the first place?!!!!!

I thought that would have been a given 🙄

Meaning they were able untill now? The whole thing is a joke , must be .

Go get those selfish human beings.

Th frs not eough so hit them in the bak pocket 🙄

I can't imagine why they have been allowed to all this time. Quarantine means quarantine. They don't take the dogs in quarantine at the airport for walks around suburbia so as not to spread disease. Same for people with corona virus. Common sense really....

Victorians being fined for catching something that the CCP and the WHO caused. hmmmm but never mentions them why ?

He don't have choice but to do that. What's the alternative

Covid has been debunked here in Australia.
