Victoria lifts lockdown Victoria’s fifth lockdown ended at 11.59pm last night 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.

Health before re-entering the community. “My message to you is thank you so much for what you’ve done and are doing but please do not make your own judgement that your quarantine has ended – that is a judgement that must be made formally and it must be made on the basis of a negative test. “We have had people who have tested negative early on and then tested positive in their day-13 test.” The list of exposure sites across Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay has reduced but the Newport post office at 6 Hall Street was last week added as a tier two exposure site. A case attended the venue on Tuesday, July 20 from 12.20-1pm.
