With 64 new cases yesterday and 75 the day before, the state government announced several Victorian suburbs will initiate Stage 3 Stay at Home restrictions at 11.59pm tonight, meaning the more than 300,000 residents in those postcodes are only allowed to leave the house for four reasons.
They are: Shopping for food and supplies, care and caregiving, exercise and study and work (if it’s not possible to do so from home).
NSW is yet to see a similar outbreak, with only five new cases recorded yesterday, but Premier Gladys Berejiklian urged residents to remain vigilant in stopping the spread.

More COVID-19 restrictions will ease across New South Wales today as the state continues to record a low number of new virus cases.
Despite the positive result, Premier Gladys Berejiklian urged residents not to relax.
