Melbourne’s nearly four-month shutdown ended on Wednesday, writes MTI.
The capital of Victoria, Australia, has been bribed for 112 days due to the coronavirus epidemic, making it one of the longest epidemic shortcuts in the world in terms of duration.
The entire area of 4.9 million cities was quarantined in early July after the daily number of infected approached 200. Despite the severe restrictions, the daily number of cases rose to about seven hundred in early August, so Prime Minister Daniel Andrews of Victoria declared an emergency epidemic in the big city and enacted new restrictions across the state, some of which are among the strictest in the world.
Starting on 2 August, with the increased presence of the police, new restrictions were introduced in Melbourne. A nightly curfew has come into effect that allows city residents to move up to five miles from their own homes and play sports for up to one hour a day outside of their homes.
The restrictions have eased somewhat in recent days, but as of Tuesday midnight life has returned to normal, with the opening of restaurants, cafes, pubs and shops. According to on-site reports, there was a New Years Eve vibe in some nightclubs, with a countdown to greet the expiration of the midnight deadline, people scattering confetti at the door, cheering at the door, although there could still be as many as twenty at time.
Melbourne residents have been stuck with an exit restriction for now, they can move up to 25 kilometers from the city, but it is also expected to be lifted on November 8. Up to two adults and two dependents of a household can visit friends and relatives living in other households.
In Victoria, it was announced on Monday that there had been no further coronavirus infections and deaths the day before, unprecedented since the first wave of the epidemic subsided on June 9. There were no new infections on Tuesday and there were two more cases on Wednesday.
To date, 27.5 thousand infections have been recorded in Australia, far fewer than in other developed countries. Last day, two people died of complications from the illness caused by the virus, bringing the death toll to 907, nearly ninety percent in Victoria’s second most populous state.
Due to the epidemic, the Australian economy contracted by 7 percent in the second quarter, the biggest drop since 1959, when they began to measure economic performance. Unemployment rose to a 22-year high of 7.5 percent in July due to business closures and the closure of internal interstate borders.
