Here is some more detail from Australian Associated Press on the restrictions that are being reimposed in Victoria.
From midnight on Sunday to July 12, Victorians will only be able to have five people at their homes and gatherings outside the home will be restricted to 10.
Cafes, restaurants and pubs were set to expand their number of patrons from 20 to 50 on Monday, but this is now on hold - a blow to ailing businesses desperate for recovery.
A spike in Covid-19 cases in Melbourne has prompted Queensland’s health department to broaden the number of high-risk areas that force people into mandatory quarantine when returning from Victoria, Australian Associated Press reports.
Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young says the hotspots now include all 31 Local Government Areas in Greater Melbourne, as well as bordering areas of Murrindindi, Mitchell, Moorabool, Macedon Ranges and Greater Geelong.
