Thousands of residents in Melbourne public housing towers still haven’t received enough food and supplies, two days into the coronavirus lockdown.

Nine towers in Flemington and North Melbourne were locked down on Saturday in an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus, with 3000 residents unable to leave their apartments for any reason for at least five days.
