I know it sounds awful, but if we want to get out faster, we need the lockdown to be a little bit tighter, such as curfews, for example. Or we need workplace testing.”Victorian health authorities have not added any new exposure sites to the list for the second consecutive night.
The Health Department is warning people that “anyone who has visited this location during these times should urgently get tested, then isolate until you receive further advice from the department”. “Small businesses ... they’re doing it so tough. People are losing their jobs. We need to give more support. I don’t care what they call it. They can call it something else but we need more support.
