Melbourne’s lockdown will be extended for another seven days as the Victorian authorities remain concerned about the high transmission rate of the Indian variant of the CCP virus.

On Wednesday, Acting Premier James Merlino confirmed that Greater Melbourne would remain in lockdown for one more week. At the same time, some restrictions in regional Victoria will ease from 11.59 pm on Thursday as scheduled.
