On Sunday 2 August 2020, Victoria stepped up its COVID-19 restrictions – the Greater Melbourne area to ‘Stage 4’. This includes stricter ‘stay at home’ restrictions – 8pm-5am curfew, 5km limit, only 1 hour exercise, only 1 person per household leaving to shop for much reduced essential goods and services. But an important facet of this is closing or restricting many businesses, the detail of which was announced on 3 August 2020. This includes legal and accounting services, with some exception for urgent matters in the justice system.
See below for the details.
