SYDNEY, Oct 14 ― Melbourne will exit months of Covid-19 lockdown next week helped by a faster-than-expected vaccine uptake, Victoria state Premier Daniel Andrews said today, ahead of schedule even though daily infections hit a record the same day.
But the surge comes as Victoria also nears the 70 per cent threshold for double-dose vaccination among eligible adults ― the level at which authorities have promised to end strict stay-home restrictions. That target was originally expected to be met on October 26, and the vaccination level was 62 per cent as of today.
Most new cases were detected in Melbourne, but the city's night curfew will also be lifted, while businesses can reopen with strict social distancing rules, according to the roadmap. More curbs will be relaxed when vaccination levels reach 80% and 90%. The city came out of a lockdown of more than 100 days earlier this week, and Sydney could enjoy more freedoms from Monday ― beating forecasts by a week ― as the proportion of fully vaccinated people older than 16 is expected to top 80 per cent this weekend.
If it requires a booster shot every 6 months then it isn’t a vaccine
