The curfew will operate from 9pm to 5am each day and begin immediately. It is the second time Victoria has imposed a curfew to enforce stay-at-home orders – a curfew was also imposed during the stage four lockdown last year. https://www.theguardian.com/austral...-daniel-andrews-extends-lockdown-by-two-weeks
Because as we all know, the virus doesn't spread at pub crawls, picnics and engagement parties if they happen at 8:30 PM.
