here you may have heard it’s been a real spike we had over 700 the other day and thats with stage 3 lockdown. we are looking at further lockdown measures in the next few days. Meanwhile outside Victoria things are slowly returning to normal.
I’ve been watching the figures for Victoria. So unfortunate after doing so well. It seems to take a while for the lock down to take effect. Please God you’ll see a difference – for the better – within a week or two. Stay safe
