The Victorian government will announce a lockdown today in a bid to curb the state’s growing coronavirus outbreak, with senior government sources telling the ABC it will last for at least seven days.
The state’s outbreak has now reached 26 cases, with 11 new cases recorded overnight.
One additional case included in those figures was announced during Wednesday’s coronavirus briefing.
Further meetings are due to be held this morning to thrash out final details of the lockdown.
It is unclear if it will apply to the whole state or just Melbourne.
Meetings of health officials and senior ministers were held late into last night.
A press conference is expected around 10:30am or 11:00am.
