Five million residents in Melbourne, Australia, emerged from a long lockdown on Monday, with stringent restrictions loosening after nearly two months as the state continues to see a drop in coronavirus cases.
Victoria state's Premier Daniel Andrews announced late Sunday night that the city would enter"the second step toward reopening," which included lifting a nightly curfew that had mandated residents stay home from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m."Seven weeks ago, our average case numbers were peaking at more than 400 every single day," Andrews said in a statement on Sunday."Today, Melbourne's rolling case average is 22.1.
Andrews declared a state of disaster across Victoria on August 2, and imposed stage 4 lockdown measures in Melbourne.Apart from the curfew, stage 4 measures also included a stay-at-home order; only one person per household was allowed to leave their homes once a day to pick up essential goods, and they had to stay within a 5-kilometer radius of their home. All schools statewide returned to online learning, and all bars and restaurants closed.Australia's coronavirus lockdown strategy worked.
