News article: Victoria will bring back tougher coronavirus restrictions, limiting gatherings in homes to five people, in a bid to address a recent spike in case numbers.

Statement from Victoria's Premier:

"around half of [Victoria's] cases since the end of April have come from transmission inside someone’s home."

"From 11:59pm on Sunday, the number of visitors you can have at your home will reduce to five."

"Outside the home, families and friends can meet in groups up to ten."

"restaurants, pubs, auction halls, community halls, libraries, museums and places of worship will all stay at a maximum of 20 people in any one space until 12 July."

"Businesses that were set to open on Monday like gyms, cinemas, theatres and TABs can do so – but again, only with a maximum of 20."

"Community sport for kids and non-contact competition for adults can proceed as planned."

"those who can work from home [should] continue to do so at least until 31 July."
