Only four reasons to leave home
Mr Andrews said the measures would ensure the lockdown did not need to be extended to encompass the whole state. "It will be booze bus-type arrangements on main thoroughfares and I'll appeal to Victorians, don't for a moment think that you could flout these rules and travel into country Victoria. "They will essentially support Victoria Police, as Victoria Police put in place roadblocks," Mr Andrews said.Victoria's Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton said the return of lockdown restrictions would be "painful" but are "absolutely necessary" to contain the virus."But we have been through this before and we did it successfully. We turned the tide with our first wave of infections in Victoria and we drove infections right down again.
