BREAKING Victoria has recorded seven new locally acquired COVID-19 cases, six of which are linked to NSW removalists and one to a family who returned from Sydney.
Four of the new cases are residents on the third floor of the Ariele Apartments in Maribyrnong, which has been in lockdown since Monday evening.
Some 200 residents of the Ariele Apartments were forced into 14 days of quarantine after a group of removalists from NSW conducted a pick up at the complex on Thursday while infectious. Authorities said three members of the family flew into Melbourne on 4 July, while a fourth drove back on Thursday. The package will be jointly funded by the Commonwealth and NSW and offered to other states and territories if they have to impose extended lockdowns.It was not received warmly by the Victorian government, which only received federal support during its fourth lockdown after repeated requests.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg told ABC's 7.30 program people were"sick" of Premier Daniel Andrews'"whinging and his politicking of the crisis".
