Australia’s second-biggest city will this week exit its coronavirus lockdown following nearly four months under onerous restrictions, authorities announced Monday, after no new daily cases or deaths were recorded.
Melbourne and the surrounding Victoria state recorded the first 24-hour period without any new Covid-19 cases since June 8 — before security bungles at quarantine hotels housing returned international travellers sparked a major outbreak in July. Asked if ale-loving Victorians could now “get on the beers”, Andrews said he “might go a little higher up the shelf”.
Some curbs were already lifted last week, allowing haircuts and golf games to return, but further easing planned for Sunday was delayed by 24 hours to assess thousands of test results after a small outbreak in the city’s north.“It was worth waiting to be absolutely confident to be sure that our team had their arms around those positive cases and fundamental control of the outbreak — and that is exactly what these numbers show us,” he said.
Restrictions on travel between Melbourne and regional Victoria will be lifted from November 8, with a 25-kilometre travel radius for city residents also set to be removed the same day.
