VICTORIA will enter its sixth lockdown from 8pm tonight.
Premier Daniel Andrews announced the lockdown will last seven days, with Victorians again only having five reasons to leave home: getting food and essential supplies, exercising for up to two hours, care or caregiving, authorised work or education if it can’t be done from home, or to get vaccinate at the neared possible location.
With suspected Delta cases infectious in the community, as well as high number of associated close contacts and exposure sites, Victoria’s Chief Health Officer has declared stay at home restrictions will be reintroduced.
The new lockdown comes as Victoria was due to see a relaxation of restrictions on Tuesday night.
