22.01.2022 Some news for all our Victorian peeps ... The Premier of Victoria Dan Andrews has announced how the state will ease out of stage four lockdown over the next few... weeks. From 11.59pm on September 13 in Metro Melbourne : The curfew will be from 9pm to 5am. You can exercise for up to two hours out of your house. And you can now exercise with one other person. If you live alone or are a single parent you can introduce one extra person to your "bubble". Same rules for shopping apply - one person, once a day. Restaurants and cafes will remain takeaway only. Schools and childcare remain closed except for the children of permitted workers. There will be a second stage of easing from Sept 28 - but there will also have to be a reduction of new cases of 30-50 a day for this to happen. Schools will partially reopen in Term 4 but students will return in stages. Prep to grade 2, VCE and VCAL students and students in Special schools will return first (Oct 12). Remote learning will continue for students in other year levels. When they will return will depend on public health advice. Up to five people from two households will be able to meet outside for a get together such as a picnic. In regional Victoria the rules are slightly different. From 11.59pm on September 13: You can only leave your home for one of four reasons - work, shopping, exercise, caregiving. If you live alone or are a single parent you can introduce one extra person to your "bubble". Up to five people from two households will be able to meet outside for a get together such as a picnic. Childcare will be open to all children. Schools will reopen at the beginning of Term 4 (Oct 12). Students will return in stages. Retail will open with social distancing restrictions.
