In COVID-19 news, looks like Melbourne, Australia has been put into lockdown after a surge of cases.

The restrictions introduced to Victoria are as follows, says premier, Daniel Andrews:

“I have a new series of stage four restrictions to announce and I’ll do metro Melbourne first and go to the impacts for regional Victoria. That state of disaster is from 6pm tonight. Beyond that, the stay at home restrictions for metro Melbourne will be enhanced.”

“There will be additional limits to the four reasons to leave home. You will no longer be able to leave home and go any further away from your home than a 5km radius. You will not be able to be at any point more than 5km away from your home for the purposes of shopping for what you need. Only one person will be able to go shopping once per day and they will need to secure the goods and services that are what you need within a 5km radius. In terms of exercise, recreational activity is now no longer allowed. You will be able to have one hour of exercise, no further than 5km from your home. That means it’s fresh air. It’s a jog. It’s a walk. It’s in your local neighbourhood. It is staying close to home or in your home. And there will no longer be able to be groups any bigger than two, regardless of whether they’re from your family or someone else.”
