November 2, 2020 12:16 PMMELBOURNE: An Australian court on Monday dismissed a challenge to a curfew that was imposed on the city of Melbourne to help curb the spread of Covid-19, ruling it was neither illegal nor irrational and did not violate the state’s human rights charter.

The lockdown was relaxed last week, allowing shops and restaurants to reopen and lifting restrictions on leaving home. “The curfew was reasonably necessary to protect public health,” Justice Tim Ginnane said in his ruling, dismissing the case.
