It came as news filtered through that Coles Bacchus Marsh closed for the evening to undergo a deep clean and allow staff who worked on Saturday to get tested as a precaution.

News.com.au is reporting this morning that authorities are already looking at extending the current lockdown. Premier Daniel Andrews said “The extreme infectivity of this virus, and the fact that within a very short space of time, if we were to open, we would see cases akin to what’s happening tragically in Sydney right now.”

Protestors were again targeted by Police as they took to the CBD streets Wednesday night. 73 arrests were made at the protest.
