Until we can tame this properly, we cannot open
up because if we did that, we wouldn't be opening
up at all. We would simply be beginning a third
wave.
From 11:59 pm on the 13th of September,
we will have to extend
out for two weeks, the current stage
four restrictions that Victorians are living under.
Singles, those who live alone will be able to partner
up with somebody else and they'll be able to visit each
other. The five kilometre rule will not apply, but the
curfew will.
Around 101,000 workers who
are currently unable to attend work
will be able to attend work in a number
of different industries.
The COVID normal after those
steady steps have been taken, a COVID normal
will see most restrictions dropped, subject to
different safety conditions and a phased return
to onsite work for those who have been working
at home. I want to get the place open
and I want to keep it open.
And unless this is done safely and steadily,
that simply won't happen.
