Increased Police Presence In Melbourne Ahead Of Planned Anti-Lockdown Protests

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - SEPTEMBER 18: A general view of a road block outside the CBD as police carry permit checks on drivers entering the city on September 18, 2021 in Melbourne, Australia. Anti-lockdown protests have been planned in Melbourne despite current COVID-19 restrictions prohibiting large outdoor gatherings. Victoria police are shutting down the public transport network in the CBD in a bid to discourage protestors. Metropolitan Melbourne is currently subject to lockdown restrictions as health authorities work to contain the spread of the highly contagious Delta COVID-19 variant, with people only permitted to leave their homes for essential reasons. Victorian COVID-19 restrictions have been eased from today in Metropolitan Melbourne to allow outdoor picnics and small exercise groups, while the permitted travel distance from home has extended to 10km.
