A positive outlook for our Victorian blog friends
There's no need for regional Victorians to feel discouraged by the new cases in Shepparton and Bairnsdale. We don't have a vaccine so it's to be expected that we'll have cases. Brett Sutton has said that the contact tracing and health response is up to the task. Why don't we think of it as an opportunity to prove that we can manage small outbreaks while being relatively open. That way Melbourne metro will be able to open with confidence. Other states will open their borders to us if they can see that we can manage outbreaks well.-DLee

Netherlands announce new restrictions
The Netherlands will return to a "partial lockdown" on Wednesday, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said, closing bars and restaurants as it battles to control the coronavirus in one of Europe's major hotspots.
"Today we are announcing new and sturdy measures and in fact we are going to a partial lockdown," Rutte said in a televised news conference. He said public gatherings of more than four people would be prohibited and alcohol sales in the evening would also be banned.
Schools were to remain open and public transport would keep running, in contrast to measures imposed during a partial lockdown earlier this year.
The measures will last at least four weeks, with a review of their impact after two weeks. If they prove ineffective, tougher restrictions may follow, said Health Minister Hugo de Jonge.
On Tuesday, the country announced a recorded daily infection rise with more than 7,400 cases reported.
