Acting Victorian Premier James Merlino announced that Victoria will enter into a seven-day lockdown from 11.59pm Thursday 27 May 2021 and will run until 11.59pm Thursday 3 June 2021.
Under the Stage 4 restrictions Victorians will only be allowed to leave their homes for five reasons:
- Food and supplies
- Authorised work (previously referred to as essential work)
- Care and caregiving
- Exercise for up to two hours with one other person
- Getting vaccinated.
Masks must be worn everywhere, except in your own home or if you have a medical exemption.
Travel is restricted to 5kms from the primary residence for permitted reasons only.
As public gatherings are not permitted during this time, real estate will return to conducting online inspections and auctions only.
Employees are required to work from home during this period.
