BREAKING: Melbourne residents will soon be able to travel up to 25 kilometres from their home and socialise and exercise without time limits, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has announced.
Melbourne residents will soon be able to travel up to 25 kilometres from their home and socialise and exercise outdoors without time limits under new changes to Victoria's coronavirus restrictions.
After five days of single-digit case numbers, the Premier has been under pressure from federal politicians to open up the state in line with neighbouring New South Wales, but said he would not be rushed into lifting restrictions."I have announced today what is safe but will not undermine the sacrifice, the hard work, the pain, the amazing efforts that Victorians have put in," he said on Sunday."You cannot run, you cannot sprint to COVID normal.
Under this step, travel from Melbourne to regional Victoria will still be outlawed, other than specific cases where Melbourne residents need to prepare properties in regional areas for flood or bushfire conditions. "As important as it is, in a cultural sense, in a very passionate way, for every single football fan across our state, it is not worth risking all that we have done, all that we have built, all that we can do in just a few days' time by having gatherings that are unsafe," he said.
