The Victorian government is now wondering how to combat the coronavirus pandemic and whether it will revert back to devastating lockdown measures that “smashed the economy” says Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
Victoria has recorded an uptick in COVID-19 infections, with 75 cases being recorded on Monday alone. “Victoria has completely stuffed up the whole country's recovery from the coronavirus panic,” Mr Bolt said. “Totally mismanaged its system of quarantining people who are sick”.
“And Victoria now, which had the toughest virus laws in the country, is now wondering what now”. Mr Bolt said the public are over the suggestion of going back into a government imposed lockdown while businesses and the economy continue to be impacted. “People have had it hiding in their homes”.
