Parents can drop their child at a family member's home for care within Melbourne's current lockdown rules, Premier Daniel Andrews says. 'In-home arrangements, if they're existing arrangements, they can continue as well.”

Victorian MPs and senators have been told they must self-quarantine for 14 days, beginning this weekend, if they want to attend federal Parliament later this month.

Premier Daniel Andrews was just asked: "There are tonnes of people calling radio stations, newspapers saying, 'I've tried the hotline, the website, I don't know what my business should be doing.' What do you say to those people?" "I would just appeal to Victorian businesses, workers, all Victorians, I know this is not easy. I know it's very complex and challenging. It is unique. We've never done it before. It cannot be made perfect. It will always be, to a certain extent, an imperfect process."

"I just again make the point, I'll be accountable for mistakes that are made. But if I don't have the answers, that's why I've set up a proper inquiry - to get those answers. We're all entitled to them. No one is for a moment anything other than completely clear - we need these answers. And that's why there's been a process set up ...

"It is an inquiry in every sense, that it is about giving us the clarity and the certainty and the answers that every single Victorian is fundamentally entitled to." Yesterday, Justice Jennifer Coate, who is leading the inquiry into the quarantine program, said the Premier and his ministers were not gagged by the judicial probe."It's not a question of being legally prohibited. No one's ever asserted that," he said.

If both parents are permitted workers and there is no one at home to take care of the children. This is a fairly misleading tweet and only adds to the confusion.

... if they’re permitted workers. Tough luck for everyone else.

Copy Taiwan. suicide rate from fear and anxiety far higher
