how is the freedom of movement in Victoria?
Do they restrict movement between metro Melbourne and areas outside of the metro area?
Do they lock down the entire state or just the region with new cases?
At the moment very limited - it changes over time but we're still under pretty heavy restrictions - not the worst, they are slowly relaxing. Last time we didn't have any restrictions on movement in the state was about seven weeks ago.
In Melbourne, you can only leave home for certain reasons and if you do can only travel 10 kilometres without a special reason (it was 5 kilometres last week).
Most of the rest of the state is now unrestricted (but they were until this week) with exceptions for a few regional cities that have outbreaks.
Do they restrict movement between metro Melbourne and areas outside of the metro area?
Yes.
Do they lock down the entire state or just the region with new cases?
They've done both at different times. But if Melbourne gets locked down, it's always all of Melbourne - I'm 50 kilometres from most of the cases (I'm in south east Melbourne, they are more north and west, and we're treated as one block - some people are 100 kilometres from the infected regions but are technically in Melbourne when they really shouldn't be - their area only became classified as Melbourne at the start of this pandemic and exactly why is really not clear.)
