This is why if you are asked to stay home and isolate, please follow the instructions provided to you. And to the broader community, these rules are in place, as painful and as challenging as they are, they are in place to drive cases down. If we don’t abide by these rules, we will, through our own choices, drive cases up. That is not what we want. It is not how we get through this and get open again.
This will go where the vaccine isn’t. We don’t have enough people vaccinated. We’ll finish with younger people in hospital, otherwise fit and healthy people. The system will be overrun if we don’t bring this under control. That is why these rules are there and where we all have a part to play. I couldn’t be more proud of Victoria.
