Nine News Melbourne newsreader Alicia Loxley spoke to Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews live this afternoon, quizzing him on the state's stage one of easing coronavirus restrictions.
Victoria will implement stage one of relaxing coronavirus restrictions from 11.59pm tomorrow, which will allow up to five guests inside a private home.Q: Why didn't you announce that change on Saturday ahead of Mother's Day? A: Well, look, it was a difficult decision to make but we still had thousands of tests to process, people had queued for hours in some cases to be tested as part of our blitz. We wanted to make sure we had as many results as possible. I know how important Mother's Day is. It was a tough call but the right call.
