Melbourne residents react with shock and fury to lockdown extension

From midnight on Sunday next week, the 8pm curfew will be pushed back an hour to 9pm (it will still cease at 5am) and the allowable outdoor exercise period will be doubled to two hours.

There will also be the introduction of a “single person bubble”, which will allow one nominated visitor if a person is living alone or a single parent with all children under 18.

On social media people have reacted to the news, with some maintaining it’s necessary if unfortunate, while others are furious and want the lockdown lifted immediately (many of them expressing themselves in ways that can’t be reproduced on a news website).

Would rather stamp out this virus than prematurely open. Glad Dan Andrews + team are making these difficult and unpopular decisions - otherwise we'd be going back into lockdowns and all this time locked down would be for nothing. #COVID19Victoria #melbournelockdown— Sam Wright (@samywamy10) September 6, 2020
