Most of the new cases and deaths overnight were in Victoria’s capital city, Melbourne.
For more than a month, Victoria has consistently recorded triple-digit daily case numbers amid a second wave that broke out in Melbourne in late June.Earlier this week, Mr Andrews declared a state of disaster and imposed tough new restrictions on Melbourne, including a night-time curfew and closing businesses, retail shops and manufacturing.
Mr Andrews said, on Wednesday, that essential workers will be required to show they have a permit to leave their homes if asked by the Police from Thursday onwards. While healthcare workers and police officers can use their official identification, all others have to apply for the permit online. Restrictions, which are in place until September 13, also prohibit residents from travelling more than five kilometres from their home to go grocery shopping or exercise.
