Face masks will become mandatory from midnight on Wednesday for people leaving their homes for one of four essential reasons in Metropolitan Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire as Victoria battles a surge of coronavirus cases.

Victoria’s new rule will apply to everyone over the age of 12, including VCE students in the classroom, and those caught not wearing a face covering in public could face a fine of $200 or $10,000 for businesses. Certain exemptions were made including for medical reasons and exercise.

Police were also set to begin a workplace check blitz this week as they work to ensure all businesses abide by social distancing measures after it was revealed up to 80 per cent of the state’s new infections were sourced from the workplace. The judicial inquiry into Victoria’s bungled hotel quarantine system was also set to begin on Monday. Image: AP

Interesting how if it's so out of control people still have until Wed to go out and do what they want without one...I guess it will help increase case numbers to fit the narrative.

Govt should 'return to the drawing board' if COVID app fails to deliver Vic results | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Djuro Sen says the government should return “to the drawing board” if the COVIDSafe app does not deliver the results from the Victoria outbreak.\n\nOn Tuesday Shadow Health Minister Chris Bowen said the app is a “$2 million failure” despite the Prime Minister’s assurance it would be the ticket to Australia's freedom. \n\nMr Sen told Sky News the criticism surrounding the government’s COVIDSafe app is “completely valid” but we should “persevere” with it.\n\n“If we don’t see a lot of contact tracing results from this particular period (in Victoria) then I think they have to look at going back to the drawing board and maybe look at using more of the Apple and Google systems,” he said.\n\n“It’s a big challenge for technology, tech could be the saver but so far contact tracing has really been done manually and I think if it goes on much longer where we are not getting results then a lot of these apps just aren’t going to be used by people at home.”\n\nImage: Getty DjuroSen The only legitimate way to understand individuals is through how they respond to information. Idiots refuse information, zealots refute information, elitists misuse information, and patriots seek and distribute information. DjuroSen Serious question. Has this app led to anyone testing positive who wouldn't have self-presented or been reached via manual methods?
