Victorians have been subjected to some of the harshest social restrictions anywhere in the world. Is it the right approach?
Victorians who have been subjected to some of the harshest social restrictions anywhere in the world will have them eased back gradually under a four-step plan that starts at midnight on September 13.
It means residents in metropolitan Melbourne will stay in stage four for another two weeks – a stage that includes a curfew, a ban on travel outside 5km of the home and an exercise allowance of one hour per day. The plan is complex and moving to each new step depends on whether Victoria can get the numbers down.
