Some perspective on this pandemic or is it a "plandemic"?

What this means for all residents living in regional Victoria, is that you can go out of ones property for essential items/requirements only, such that of shopping for food necessities, work, caring for someone, petrol, Chemist/Doctor etc. but all other outdoor/recreational activities are banned, (less any outdoor activities that were allowed during the first wave of stage 3 restriction closures).

Hi Kon I'm planning to ring up a Regional sitting Politician on Tuesday night or Wednesday (as Parliament is sitting for the first time in ages on Tuesday) to find out if any of stage 3 has been changed from the 1st stage 3 rulings. You never know they may allow prospecting, fishing, golf, ect this time as long it is done with social distancing in mind and your still wearing a mask. These activities were in question at the last stage 3 rulings why they could not be done. Especially prospecting on private property or out in the bush. Or fishing on a bank or in a boat alone.

This is the latest news regarding regional Victoria stage 3 from Melina Bath MP. But prospecting is still not mentioned, so I am getting that verified. Also how far you can travel if prospecting is allowed. But under the new rules, if you do any of these agreed activities you STILL have to wear a mask. This has already been verified by Melina Bath's office.

Dear Facebook friends,
Once again, sadly, based on today's State Government's announcement country Victoria is having to return to Stage 3 restrictions as of Midnight Wednesday.
Below is a summary of the restrictions for Regional Victoria.

As further details come through I will endeavour to pass them on to you.
Once again we feel devastated for our small business, hospitality, tourism, accommodation etc. community, which have suffered so much and were just emerging from hibernation and getting back on their feet.

Take care, keep apart, wear masks and shop local at every possibility.
