Lockdown risk in more suburbs

THE Victorian Government will analyse key virus trend data to determine if more suburbs across Melbourne will go into lockdown.

Premier Daniel Andrews said the process involved firstly identifying priority local government areas with more than twice the state case rate.

All postcodes within the area are then reviewed and a list is formed of “priority suburbs” with more than five cases of coronavirus and a rate greater than 20 positive cases per 100,000 residents.
