The state’s coronavirus death toll remains at 816 and the Australian total is 904. Melbourne residents are expecting COVID-19 restrictions to be eased on Sunday but it is unclear how much freedom will be regained. Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews has indicated the changes would be more “in the social space,” prompting pleas from business operators for relief from restrictions that once included an overnight curfew. Current restrictions include a two-hour exercise limit within 5 kilometers of work or home and mandatory face masks covering the mouth and nose when a person leaves their home.
