Victoria’s government is expected to announce a lockdown today any moment as 12 new COVID-19 cases emerged overnight. Health officials had been alarmed at the speed in which case numbers are rising.
Sources of ABC, the state broadcaster, said it would last for at least seven days. Other reports speculate that a five-day circuit lockdown will be held, similar to the one in February when the hotel quarantine had infected 13 people.
Victoria last entered a five-day ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown in February, when the virus escaped hotel quarantine and infected 13 people.
The announcement is set to be made at 10.30am or 11am the morning as ministers thrash out the final details of the lockdown, and at this time it is unclear if the restrictions apply to the whole state or just Melbourne.
An ABC reporter s live coverage of the state budget has been hilariously interrupted by an advertisement for a Melbourne strip club.
Richard Willingham was in the middle of a live cross on Thursday night as a trailer promoting Spearmint Rhino pulled up behind him and came to a halt.
The ad, which included an image of a blonde-haired woman, said there would be free entry at the adult entertainment club.
An eagle-eyed viewer shared the footage to Twitter, writing: Just tuned in to the 7pm ABC TV news to learn about state budget and one of the first things I was told was that it s free entry to strip joint Spearmint Rhino tonight.
