Andrews to release separate lockdown roadmaps for regional and metro Vic
Premier Daniel Andrews has announced he will on Sunday provide Victorians with two roadmaps out of lockdown highlighting the differences in COVID-19 settings between metropolitan and regional parts of the state. "We believe that given the low case numbers it will be possible for us to have different settings in regional Victoria, and a different timeline and road map compared to what will be essential in metropolitan Melbourne," he said. "Given the different places in terms of the number of positive cases, the chains of transmission, the challenge is different in metropolitan Melbourne than it is in regional Victoria. "We on Sunday will be able to give people a clearer sense of what the phases to come look like; what the weeks and months to come look like." Mr Andrews warned there was "no good doing this too fast" or opening up "too much, too quickly" as it would result in further lockdowns by Christmas time. "We don't want that. We want to do everything we can to avoid that. So it's about a steady and safe easing out of these rules and then finding a normal that we can lock in for many, many months," he said. "Not, of course, to in any way confuse people, there will be further cases. "There will be further outbreaks but if we can drive these numbers down to the lowest possible level and then set in - lock in - a set of rules that are as open as possible, that's exactly what we have to achieve and that's exactly what we will do."
