The brutal five day long lockdown of the entire state of Victoria could continue for up to two weeks thanks to a sneaky detail in health directive legal papers.
To bring a lockdown into force, shutting all non-essential businesses and forcing millions to stay within 5km of their homes, a state s chief health officer must sign a legal document.
These directives then give powers to the police as well as to health officials, including the ability to issue fines and force people to isolate.
The entire state was plunged into lockdown from 11.59pm on Friday in response to an outbreak at Melbourne Airport s Holiday Inn, which has grown to 14 cases.

Tasmania has declared the entire state of Victoria as high-risk as of midnight on Friday.
All travellers from Victoria to Tasmania will have to self-isolate for 14 days, at their home or in hotel quarantine. I would hope that this is a temporary measure. We will be cognisant of what occurs in Victoria over the next five days, Tasmanian Premier Peter Gutwein said.
Mr Gutwein said there was new advice for people who had been to Melbourne s Tullamarine Airport after a worker at the Brunetti cafe tested positive to coronavirus.
