Victorian health officials and senior ministers have met overnight and will meet again today to discuss the end of the state's fifth lockdown. Here's what we know so far.

Victorian health officials and senior ministers have met overnight and will meet again today to discuss the end of the state's fifth lockdown.

"We'll try and give people as much notice as we can, and that means though that we've got to strike that difficult balance between waiting for as much information as possible and giving people as many hours' notice as we can," he said.The daily numbers are one thing, but even more important than the total amount of cases is whether those testing positive have been in quarantine for their infectious period.

Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said over the weekend the number of infectious cases in the community would need to be "really minimal, and hopefully zero" to confidently end the lockdown. The LaCrosse building was upgraded to a tier 1 site, meaning the entire apartment block is in lockdown for 14 days or until it is downgraded.

Oh dear, the undiscovered rockets scientists at Sky After Dark SAD (Credlin, Jones, Bolt, Murray, Kenny) head's will be spinning like Linda Blair in the Exorcist if Victoria comes out of lockdown. How are they going to attack Dan Andrews whilst NSW is ravaged with COVID-19?

In the meantime Queensland is about to go into hard lockdown. Quite literally just waiting for the announcement 😭

Why don’t they watch for the number of youth suicides that are increasing daily, or the increasing number of homeless people on our streets, or the women affected by the increase in domestic violence? Why are we only measuring one thing?
