According to a report by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) on the 3rd, Victorian Governor Andrews promised to announce the state's "unblocking road map" on Sunday. It is reported that although the epidemic has improved, Andrews will not announce the immediate lifting of the state's four-level restrictions, but will continue to observe the changes in the epidemic.

On the 2nd, Andrews extended the state of emergency to six months instead of 12 months as originally planned. The reason is that it is not supported by the opposition party, and it is considered that extending 12 months is "excessive use of government power".
