The state government is pumping another $282 million into its business support package as Victoria prepares for the second week of its latest COVID-19 lockdown.
Business Minister Martin Pakula said on Wednesday that pubs, clubs and other licensed venues will now be eligible for new payments of $4200 on top of the $3000 available for the first five days of lockdown.
Other businesses eligible for the state payments can claim another $2800 in addition to the $2000 made available last week.
Businesses in Victoria’s ski fields, which have seen their peak season hit hard by the lockdown and have been able to claim $15,000 from the government, will get access to another $3000.
Mr Foley said six cases had low level of exposure sites, thanks to the current lockdown.
“Two days ago, there were only 6 per cent of our daily cases who were fully isolating in quarantine. Today it is 73 per cent which have been fully isolated during their period of infectivity.”

He added there are more than 18,000 primary close contacts linked to the outbreak.
“Because of the nature of how this outbreak started, with so many Victorians just going about their normal life at some significant events, what we’ve seen . is a really high number of people getting caught up as either primary or secondary contacts.”
