MARINO TO RUN FOR COUNCIL
STEP BY STEP RESTRICTIONS across regional Victoria will be relaxed beginning next weekend under the state government’s highly anticipated roadmap out of coronavirus unveiled yesterday. From midnight on Sunday, September 13, regional Victorians will be allowed public outdoor gatherings of five people from a maximum of two homes.
A “single person bubble� will also be created, permitting those living alone or single parents one nominated visitor. Childcare will be open to all children and schools will return to onsite learning from Term 4 with COVID safety measures in place. Regional Victoria will be “a step ahead� in Stage 2 of the four-stage plan from September 13. Metropolitan Melbourne will remain in
Stage 1 of the roadmap until September 28, but some restrictions will be eased from September 13, including extended curfew and exercising hours, social bubbles to accommodate those living alone and outdoor gatherings of two people. Premier Daniel Andrews said regional Victoria’s progression towards the last step of the plan - the “COVID normal� - depended on the maintenance of low daily case numbers.
“We will reassess based on total numbers ... but regional Victoria will more or less be able to move to the third step quite soon,� he said. “It will be perhaps a matter of weeks before regional Victoria can move to a very different range of settings compared to Melbourne.
