From Wednesday night, Melbourne will close retail, some manufacturing and administrative businesses as part of a six-week lockdown which is expected to hit 250,000 jobs, roughly the number already impacted. Supermarkets will remain open along with restaurant takeaway and delivery services, but many other retail outlets will close.
Restrictions announced yesterday include curfew from 8pm to 5am that will be in place for six weeks, barring the city’s nearly five million people from leaving their houses except for work or to receive or give care. New South Wales, which had 13 new infections overnight, strongly recommended the use of masks in all indoor venues, while South Australia, with two fresh cases, reduced gatherings inside the home to 10 people from 50, and said only those seated at venues can be served alcohol.“We are proactively putting these restrictions in place to avoid the kind of situation we are seeing in Victoria.”
