Victoria is expected to enter a snap lockdown tonight, with The Herald Sun reporting the decision is set to be announced later today.         

The lockdown is expected to start from midnight tonight,with health department sources telling the publication that the restrictions would be similar to the state’s previous lockdown.

This means there will likely be just five reasons to leave home, schools will close, with the lockdown expected to last for three or five days.

It comes as Victoria’s Covid-19 outbreak rose to 16 today, with Victoria dealing with two different chains of transmission.

“What with we’ve got is two separate incursions into Victoria over the last three or four days, two chains of transmission, at least one is moving very actively and very aggressively across the state, Covid-19 testing commander Jeroen Weimar said.

This is where the outbreaks stand: NSW recorded 65 cases bringing the total to 929;
Victoria recorded five new cases today with a total of 16 infections;
Queensland recorded three new cases.

Good decision. Short sharp ones work better than the NSW BS.

    Melbourne is bracing for tough new Covid restrictions after infections surge
    Two more cases who attended AFL match at the MCG has since been reported
    Speculation Victoria will be plunged into fifth lockdown from midnight Thursday
    State's latest coronavirus outbreak has climbed to 16 cases across Melbourne

  Victoria is on the brink of an 'unavoidable' snap lockdown after the state's latest coronavirus outbreak climbed to 16 cases.

Crisis meetings between Victorian government ministers and health officials will continue on Thursday afternoon, amid speculation the state will be plunged into its fifth lockdown in 16 months.
Details of the 'unavoidable' snap lockdown are still being discussed with a decision to be announced by Premier Daniel Andrews later on Thursday and would come into effect from midnight, the Herald Sun reported.
Health department sources told the publication it would be similar to the previous lockdown and would likely last between three and five days.
Officials believe Victoria needs to go hard and go early to contain its latest outbreak.
The lockdown is expected to include the closure of schools, along with a host of new restrictions to be reinstated.
Victoria initially recorded no further local cases on Thursday on top of 10 new cases announced a day earlier.
Health officials have since confirmed two more cases who attended an AFL match between Geelong and Carlton at the MCG last Saturday.
The pair, believed to be a man and 11-year-old boy are linked to an infected Maribyrnong man who sat in a separate area in the MCC member's reserve on level 2.

You've just been complaining that Gladys didn't lockdown fast enough, yet you're going on about "Dirty Dan"?

Like, I know you're simply trolling with this faux hysterics, but at least try to hide it just a little better...

Yes, because the federal government have failed to set up an adequate quarantine system in that time and failed to secure enough vaccines for us to be reopening like the US is right now.

I guess the idiots will be stocking up on toilet paper this afternoon.

For the life of me, I still can't figure out why people do this.

Let it rip -
people have had their chance to get at least one vax shot.
If they get Covid it's their fault.
Stuff them - 18 months was long enough to prove their lockdown theories.

There's no need to worry, Josh Frydenberg said unemployment is the lowest it's ever been and the economy is booming

I couldn't get anyone to answer the phone for an appointment so
I walked in to a mass vax hub 13 days ago -
It took an hour and a half  for me to get in there and get out again.
