"This is a difficult time for everyone, however, we need to take these steps now to get on top of this outbreak."

Masks must still be worn inside. But more people in metropolitan Melbourne can return to offices, with 75% capacity – or 30 people in a workplace – whichever is greater.

Close contacts – Get tested immediately and self-isolate for 14 days

“My parents, grandparents, uncles, aunties and cousins were always making use of everything, nothing was ever just thrown out.”

"But it’s no exaggeration to say the single most important thing every single Victorian can do is to get tested as soon as they have even the mildest of symptoms."

"Among those not vaccinated – possibly up to 30 per cent of the community – we could see a large number of hospitalisations and deaths, as well as many cases of ‘long COVID’.”

Please donate to the organisations that spend 100% of the money collected on the relief work rather than spend 30-60% on their administrative structure.

Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth have performed better than Melbourne which used to be at rank 2 and has now fallen at rank 8
