Victoria’s fifth lockdown will end at 11.59 tonight but new settings will remain in place for at least two weeks.
Victoria’s COVID-19 commander Jeroen Weimar said there were 10 new COVID-19 cases recorded on Tuesday, bringing the total number of active cases to 188.
All 10 had been isolating.
Residents of the Ariele Apartment complex in Maribyrnong tomorrow end their 14-day quarantine after being exposed to Sydney removalists who spread the Delta variant and sparked the lockdown.
Mr Weimar said the trio who entered Victoria on July 8 would not be charged.
“Department of Health (DH) completed its investigation yesterday and [Victoria Police] reviewed the file yesterday and overnight and have confirmed that no further action will be taken,” he said.
