Melbourne residents are banned from going out at night, after a blockade in Australia's second largest city failed to prevent the increase in the number of nCoVs.

Victorian Prime Minister Daniel Andrew today declared a "catastrophic state" across the state and said Melbourne would apply "Stage 4" restrictions on September 13 due to the nCoV infection in the community.

Despite the blockade since early July, the city of Melbourne still records hundreds of new cases every day.

Melbourne residents will only be able to exercise for one hour a day within a radius of no more than 5 km from home.

The majority of Melbourne students and students return to online learning from July 30, just a few weeks after city schools reopen.

Authorities for the first time imposed a ban on weddings in Melbourne, Australia's second largest city, just behind Sydney.

"These decisions made by lack of any action will make us insecure," Premier Andrew said.

Additional restrictions on offices will be announced tomorrow.

The State of Victoria today recorded an additional 671 nCoV infections and 7 deaths, bringing the total number of infected and dying to 11,577 and 123 respectively. In addition to the city of Melbourne, other parts of Victoria will take restrictive measures. "

Other states and territories of Australia in recent weeks have recorded little or no new cases from the implementation of restrictive measures.

Covid-19 broke out in December 2019, appearing in 213 countries and territories with nearly 18 million cases and nearly 680,000 deaths.
