This average needs to drop to five cases or less with no more than five mystery cases during the same period for further restrictions to be eased on 19 October.
But 31 cases have now been linked to a butcher shop at Chadstone Shopping Centre, causing concern for health authorities. Two people in Kilmore, located 60km north of Melbourne, have also tested positive to COVID-19 after a case connected to the outbreak dined at the suburb's Oddfellows Cafe.The health department wants anyone who visited the cafe during the period to get tested even if they don't have symptoms.
People in Australia must stay at least 1.5 metres away from others. Check your jurisdiction's restrictions on gathering limits.

Glad that there's no new deaths. Without the Chadstone outbreak, we would have been on track to lift restrictions on the 19th. Very frustrating!
2 minutes video no one should skip: Dr. Yan: the coronavirus was made in the lab to target human by the Chinese Communist Party!
Meanwhile another 400 plus ppl died of other causes like cancer , heart attacks , car accident etc yesterday. FFS
Happy 3rd wave, Victoria! Just can't listen.
If only we could not overwhelm the hospitals and flatten the curve...
How many deaths due to covid response? Suicides etc?
Was a safe and effective treatment banned? Criminal if true.
Did Andrews pressure Andrew Crisp to lie in his testimony? Based on his communist mentality & previous lack of honesty , the betting person would say yes. Andrews dysfunction created the most deaths in the country.. what a legacy
sounds pretty good , keep going
If it wasn't for the Chadstone outbreak, we'd be doing really well. This is why everyone needs to pull together- isolate and get tested if you're unwell, otherwise you may stuff it up for everyone else.
I really hope that he realises the average of 5 cases or less a day for 14 days is completely ridiculous. Melbourne will not get there.
