Victoria has recorded 76 new locally acquired COVID-19 cases, as health officials consider the restrictions that will remain when lockdown is extended on Thursday.
Key points:

Authorities are yet to reveal how many of the new cases were quarantined while infectious
Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton has hinted an easing in regional Victoria may be possible as the Shepparton outbreak comes under control
There are now more than 1,000 exposure sites across Victoria

Contact tracers have linked 45 of the new cases to existing outbreaks.

Health authorities say the number of cases who were in quarantine while infectious will be revealed later.

The state processed 50,848 test results on Monday, when 32,162 vaccine doses were delivered at state-run sites.

There are more than 1,000 exposure sites across Victoria, with a construction site at Fishermans Bend and several apartment buildings in Melbourne among recent additions.

bobby , victoria is learning to live with covid.

covid is going to kill a few people, but it wont be a species ending event.

150,000 aussies die every year.

maybe next year it will be 155,000.

not worth the drama

slowly the population of victoria will become like every other place on earth.

covied will be "so last year"

dan plan (and he's not alone) is to continue delivering a 1 hour lecture everry day.

its pretty easy because you just have to say the same ole things

get the jab, blah balh
thanks to our contact tracers
blah blah
we did 50,000 test
blah blah
condolences to the 90 yo who died
blah balh.

its just really easy and he doesnt have to think

if you let them get away with it, politicians will never stop being media whores, especially when they cant really do anything except go blah blah balh.

dan cant stop an airborne virus
his lecture is really meaningless but he doesnt have to answer any hard questions about crime, the economy, homeless people or the environment, so i'm sure he (and the others) love it

He must be thinking of a different country.

Compared to Australia, Sweden is an absolute basket case.

Just look at these stats (from 3 weeks ago):

Population

- Sweden: 10 million

Amazing isn’t it. Just to coincide with easement of some lockdown rules.
Well we can kiss that probability goodbye.

As for those 2 deaths. I’m finding the circumstances odd after reading this. Why not hospitalised? Or call 000 or even a doctor?

“The 49-year-old woman from Northcote and a woman in her 60s from Hume were both declared dead in their respective homes on Tuesday after developing COVID-19.

It remains unclear why they were not hospitalised and whether they had any other health conditions.

Their vaccination status also remains unknown.”

Victoria records 120 COVID cases and two deaths

as details of lockdown extension set to be announced

By state political reporter Richard Willingham and staff
Posted 3h ago
3 hours ago
, updated 1h ago

Playgrounds will be reopened but

the 9:00pm curfew will remain in Melbourne,

as part of revised restrictions to be announced today, senior government sources have told the ABC.
Key points:

Victoria recorded its biggest daily case count since September 2, 2020

The government will today release details of what case numbers need to be reached for restrictions to be eased
The ambulance union says paramedics who attended the house of a woman who died weren't told she had COVID

Health officials and government ministers have met to discuss what restrictions would be eased from Friday, when the current lockdown is due to be extended.

The government is also set to announce a vaccine priority scheme for year 12 students, but will confirm other year levels are unlikely to return to classrooms this term.

Victoria has recorded 120 new locally acquired COVID-19 cases, 64 of which have been linked to existing outbreaks.

It is the first time the state's daily cases have been in the triple digits since 110 cases were detected on September 2 last year at the tail of the Victoria's devastating second wave.

There were also two deaths that were reported late yesterday and included in today's numbers.

Health authorities say they will provide more information about the quarantine status of the cases later today.
