Covid-19 case numbers continue to fall in the Yarra Ranges, with the shire recording 15 active cases on 7 September.
This was compared to 22 active cases the week prior.
The local numbers came as the state recorded a ten-week low of 41 cases and nine deaths, over a 24 hour period.
Of the new cases, 16 were linked to outbreaks or complex cases and 25 were under investigation.
On 6 September, Premier Daniel Andrews announced the State Government’s roadmap towards reopening Victoria.
From 11:59pm on 13 September, the first steps towards a ‘Covid normal’ will be taken. This will include ‘social bubbles’ for people living alone and single parents, the extension of permitted exercise time from one hour to two hours and the beginning of the curfew time moved back to 9pm.
Other steps of the roadmap will be guided by dates and Covid-19 data. For more information, visit www.vic.gov.au/coronavirus-covid-19-restrictions-roadmaps.
