A Victorian man called 3AW's Ross and Russel while driving out of Victoria on Thursday morning, declaring 'we're definitely going into lockdown'. Panicked Melbournians are fleeing Victoria in droves ahead of an 'imminent' five-day lockdown amid a growing Covid outbreak. 'Yesterday morning I left Melbourne at 3am, travelling up the Hume Highway … so many cars loaded and heading to Sydney,' he said. There are now more than 60 exposure sites across Melbourne and regional Victoria, including the MCG and Marvel Stadium. Victoria last entered a five-day 'circuit breaker' lockdown in February, when the virus escaped hotel quarantine and infected 13 people.
