Plunging his state back into a tough five-day lockdown on Thursday night, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said some restrictions could be eased early for regional communities if conditions allow.
The statewide lockdown is set to last until at least 11.59pm next Tuesday, with Victorians allowed to leave home only for food and supplies, two hours of exercise a day, care-giving, education, vaccinations and essential work.
