Mr Andrews did flag that the next step could be brought forward, depending on case numbers across Victoria in the next week.
"There is no sound reason to continue the restrictions on business, especially with case numbers clearly on a downward trajectory." "The longer Victorian businesses are kept closed the greater the potential for deep economic and health damage across the state. Council of Small Business Organisations of Australia chief executive Peter Strong said in a statement that the Premier and Victorian government "obviously have no experience with business" after Sunday’s announcement.
From Monday, poultry processing facilities will increase the daily total workforce capacity to 90 per cent across all of Victoria, while abattoirs and meat processing facilities will increase the daily total workforce capacity to 80 per cent for metropolitan Melbourne and 90 per cent for regional Victoria.
"No balance between health and business survival- we are being left behind the rest of the country-federal government must intervene - we are COVIDSafe to open."
So if businesses can’t survive for 2 more weeks means they were badly run to start with. So many failed businesses use COVID as an excuse for bad performance treating stuff badly. Take federal government age care facilities that were poorly run. They were problematic before COVID
I'd like to commend for your fair, balanced coverage of all things COVID-19 relaaknailth80170j ajlkj kls;rj ajsie. Oops. Sorry. Couldn't get that out without choking on my coffee. Dammit. Now I have to go clean my keyboard.
Please provide a list of each of those businesses. I would like to warn everyone that reads my timeline that they are unlikely to be Covid-safe at their premises.
Global pandemics are disappointing, I have to agree
Who cares? Safety First then profit flows.
I’ve been wondering how our health care workers are feeling. Perhaps you could ask them? You know, the ones who have been battling to keep people alive. The ones who’ve been getting sick, having to stay away from their families.
Another reminder of why I cancelled my subscription.
We will stand behind you small business, stay strong.

If Dan and his family dare set foot in any cafe, pub, restaurant or small retail business I’m certain they will be kicked out on their ass. A career politician who is completely out of touch with reality.
Yeah avoiding these businesses. Look at uk if want to know how well businesses do if you open up too quickly.
Victorian government is most antibusiness I’ve ever know in the history of Australian politics it’s a shame as I used to be a labour supporter but never will I vote labour now till the grave
Yeah cos being open like London & Paris is apparently what the business community wants.
I want a list also of the business to boycott

Covid is still in the community.
Dan is delusional, sociopathic and so arrogant that his current goal is self preservation. Hitler lost his leadership, so will this excuse for a human being.
Cry me a river. No one owes these people a living if it can only happen at the expense of public health.
It’s a war against an invisibility enemy and together, the strategy is proving to be effective. Keep it up, ‘we’re all in this together’.
