Medical professionals who attended an engagement party allegedly held in breach of Melbourne's lockdown restrictions have been reported to the regulator. AAP understands at least two medical professionals attended the engagement party, which is also being investigated by police. The newly elected president of the Jewish Community Council of Victoria, Daniel Aghion, called for calm and said anyone concerned about exposure should contact authorities. "We are disappointed to learn that a small group have not been following mandatory lockdown restrictions," he said in a statement. We unreservedly condemn such actions, which bring risk and shame to the entire community," the council said.
