Speaking later in the day to ABC Radio Melbourne, Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said the government would announce whether the lifting of the lockdown would be brought forward as soon as it had clarity on which day the 70 per cent target would be hit. Home visits are not permitted until the 80 per cent target is reached but Professor Sutton said they could be allowed at 70 per cent if hospitalisations and case numbers were at an acceptable level.He said case numbers were beginning a consistent downward trend or, at worst, plateauing.

“They have been forced to stand down staff with the added risk of losing key staff due to skill shortages. This prolonged lockdown has also brought mental health impacts on small businesses and their employees,” she said.
