The premier of Australia's second-largest state announces even stricter lockdown measures, introducing a nightly curfew and banning virtually all trips outdoors after the region reported 671 new infections in a single day
The premier of Victoria plunged Australia's second-largest state into a"state of disaster" on Sunday, announcing even stricter lockdown measures, introducing a nightly curfew and banning virtually all trips outdoors after the region announced 671 new infections in a single day.
Daniel Andrews told Victorians at a news conference that"we have to do more, and we have to do more right now," as the state battles to contain a devastating coronavirus outbreak that had already stripped residents of their freedoms, livelihoods and social interactions and made it an outlier from the rest of the country."Where you slept last night is where you'll need to stay for the next six weeks," Andrews said, announcing a curfew between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m.
