SYDNEY, Oct 21 ― Millions in Melbourne are readying to come out of the world's longest Covid-19 lockdown tonight after Victoria state hit a key vaccination target, with pubs, restaurants and cafes racing to reopen their doors to fully vaccinated customers.
Officials had promised to lift lockdowns once double-dose vaccinations for people aged above 16 exceeded 70 per cent in Victoria. Prime Minister Scott Morrison today confirmed reaching that target, and more restrictions will ease as inoculations hit 80 per cent and 90 per cent. As businesses prepare to welcome customers, daily infections rose to 2,232 in Victoria today, the second highest in the pandemic and the majority in state capital Melbourne, not far from the 2,297 hit a week ago.
