Victorian Government yet to decide if Melbourne's 5km travel rule will soon be lifted

Professor Sutton said the 5km rule had limited socialising, and potential transmission of the virus.

"We are incrementally shrinking it down where we are not seeing that postcode to postcode movement of the virus," he said.Professor Sutton said it was difficult to say exactly how big an impact the 5km travel restriction had on cutting down coronavirus case numbers. Professor Sutton said the 5km rule was "in the mix" with what other countries had done to limit transmission of the virus.He said the Victorian Government had to also consider what lifting the 5km rule would mean for compliance.

But he said authorities were considering the needs of those in Melbourne, who owned regional properties and needed to make bushfire preparations. "It seems to be one of those rules that has been put in place by the Premier that has not been supported by a lot of public health experts," he said.Deakin University's Chair in Epidemiology Catherine Bennett said she "doesn't get" why the State Government would consider extending the 5km travel rule.

The ABC continues to use fear to get attention. This article could have had a positive message about staying the course but you chose not to. It compares poorly with how the ABC supported communities during the bushfires.

Because travelling that extra km is just so dangerous. It’s “The Science” don’t you know.

Andrews is giving in to Liberal pressure to get business back on track. He also knows the Libs will prove the who decided to go with private security.

So the purpose of this article is?

Ah Melbourne, world's most liveable city one day... socialist shithole the next.
