Daniel Andrews urges young Victorians to 'do the right thing'
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has written a lengthy Facebook post overnight, pleading with young people to follow coronavirus restrictions.
Hours after announcing a further 357 infections and five deaths, Mr Andrews asked the state's youth to 'do the right thing' and not risk spreading the virus.
"I know it's hard, I know it's frustrating, and I know you're over this - believe me, I am too," he wrote.
"But if you're sitting there right now, deciding if you take that risk or not.
"Know that if we allow this virus to spread - if people ignore the rules, or pretend this isn't happening: restrictions will get tighter, case numbers will grow larger, and more lives will be lost."
