in Addition, one must meet only in groups of two outside of school and home.

the Closure comes into force at midnight on Thursday local time, writes the local media the Herald Sun.


the State has registered 191 new coronatilfælde over the past day. It is the highest number since the epidemic broke out. On Monday, there were registered 127 new cases.

- If we fail to contain the infection, it will go from being a few hundred smittetilfælde to many more, and then it will quickly be out of control, says Daniel Andrews.

- We have to be realistic. This is not over.

the Number of smittetilfælde in Melbourne has been increasing over the past some time, and it will be 'impossible' to continue smittesporingen and keep the number of infected people down, if not the country be closed down immediately, says the prime minister, according to the newspaper the Sydney Morning Herald.
