Mr Andrews said the curfew, however, will be made later to 9pm, and exercise increased to two hours a day, while social bubbles for those who live on their own will be implemented.
Mr Andrews has outlined the "safe and steady" steps the state will take to move from stage four restrictions, but has warned moving too fast will do nothing but trigger a third wave of the virus.Credit:"Some of them [choices] are difficult because there are general and they are a genuine 50-50 choice.
