@VictorianCHO calls this a “heartbreaking turn in the epidemic” but had to make the call when numbers began to grow in the double digits the last few days @7NewsMelbourne
Premier says he considered mandatory testing. BUT there’s more physical contact in forcing someone to undergo a test than in them shutting the door on a medics face. Legally ppl posing an unreasonable risk to public health can be detained @7NewsMelbourne
RELATIONSHIPS :Government has not decided whether you can visit a partner in a lockdown suburb. Hoping to have an answer before tomorrow night @7NewsMelbourne
