People in Melbourne flocked to the city’s pubs, restaurants and hair salons in the early hours of today after the world’s most locked-down city emerged from its latest round of restrictions, designed to combat the spread of COVID-19.
Victoria State Premier, Daniel Andrews on Friday promised there would be no more lockdowns as the state reached its vaccination targets.
Australia’s second-largest city has so far endured 262 days, or nearly nine months, of restrictions during six separate lockdowns since March 2020, representing the longest cumulative lockdown for any city in the world.
