Victorians who do not live in a restricted postcode: you must limit visitors to your home to groups of no more than 5.
Why? Because data in Victoria has shown us that coronavirus is being spread via gatherings in people’s homes.
We get it. Socialising at home feels different. It's less likely that you stay 1.5 metres away from each other, and it’s harder to do thorough cleaning. It’s easier to forget and hug each other in greeting.
Consider the safety of those you love before organising a social event in your home. When video chat, email, phone calls, and social media are there to help us stay connected, is it worth the risk?

I think the whole state needs to locked down again
This reminder is critical.
Gathering in shopping centres
How are markets allowed then? It’s ridiculous ! How do they track all these people attending them ?
Gatherings at people's home ? Don't you mean gatherings on the streets of Melbourne lol
I’m curious to know what the social distancing criteria was for hotel quarantine?

It can be distressing to learn about how complete strangers are being impacted by the ever-changing nature of lockdown restrictions. A compassionate view towards the health of others may encourage increases in awareness of how our own actions and behaviours, such as continuing to adhere to governmental health advice, can positively impact the lives of people we’ve never even met.
Here, we look at how powerful meditation can be when developing compassion. Learn more at bb.org.au/2VOjUlq. ... See MoreSee Less

Welcome to Connect Mount Alexander
Welcome to Connect Mount Alexander, a place where we can connect with each other, share information, offer assistance and provide support during COVID-19.
Connect Mount Alexander has always been an online community space for community groups to promote who they are, what they do and the events they have planned but during COVID-19 we have had to adapt to the current needs of our community. We have therefore, temporarily changed the purpose of this space in response to COVID-19 to ensure that our community have the opportunity to stay connected, up to date and informed of the current emergency and the support available to them.
COVID-19 Virtual Emergency Relief Centre
In most emergencies that significantly impact the community, an Emergency Relief Centre (ERC) is often established.
An ERC is a place to provide information about the emergency and the support and referrals available to help a community cope with the impact of the emergency. Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions, a physical ERC is not possible so we have adapted and developed a Virtual ERC via Connect Mount Alexander. We hope that the Virtual ERC provides the support that our community needs during this emergency, however we will continue to review and adapt its content as the situation evolves to ensure that it stays informative,responsive and relevant.
