Longest lockdown in the world has a roadmap out

As much of Australia remains in lockdown, the premiers of the two biggest states have warned that the public must be prepared for yet another rapid rise in case numbers

The fresh warnings come as Sydney and Melbourne eye-off reopening their economies once vaccination rates reach 70 and 80 percent.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews unveiled his government’s roadmap out of lockdown on Sunday.

Melbourne could become the city or country that has spent the most number of days in lockdown as Premier Daniel Andrews says the state’s stay-at-home health orders will apply until vaccination levels are met.

Andrews says the state’s health system will face intense pressure as restrictions ease… but it will be able to pass through a spike in cases.

It comes as many residents, leaders and industry representatives criticise the Victorian government for its path to Covid-normal.

Melbourne’s Lord Mayor says the planned easing of restrictions “doesn’t go far enough” with the four-step plan expected to see lockdown end by October 26.

Meanwhile, New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has referenced the well-known Doherty Institute modelling when warning Australians need to brace for high infection rates over the coming months.
