AUSTRALIA TO IMPOSE NEW 6-WEEKS COVID-19 LOCKDOWN IN MELBOURNE.{PHOTOS}.

Melbourne, Australia's second-biggest city, under new lockdown for ...
       Australia's second largest city, Melbourne, will go back into a strict lockdown to prevent a second wave of Covid-19 infections from spreading across the country.
A total of five million residents in the metropolitan city will no longer be allowed to leave their homes unless it's for grocery shopping, caregiving, exercise or work starting from 11:59pm on Tuesday, July 7.
This drastic action was announced as authorities declared that it's clear "we are on the cusp of our second wave".
The measures are expected to remain in place for six weeks.
They come as the state of Victoria saw another record rise in daily coronavirus cases, with 191 new infections recorded for Tuesday.
The state reported its previous high of 127 new cases on Monday.
Of the 191 new cases detected on Tuesday, 13 came from the nine public housing estates under a "hard lockdown".
About 3,000 residents in the densely populated towers were suddenly put under a total lockdown on Saturday night.
They are not allowed to leave their homes for any reason.
So far, a total of 69 cases have been detected in these estates.
Authorities aim to test every single resident.
Under the new lockdown measures, cafes and restaurants that were allowed to reopen weeks ago will return to take away and delivery only.
Beauty and personal services will be closed, as well as cultural and entertainment venues.
Schools will extend their holiday for another week, but senior secondary school students and students at specialist schools will return to school as planned on Monday.
"We know we're on the cusp of something very, very bad if we don't get on top of this," Victoria State Premier Daniel Andrews told reporters in Melbourne on Tuesday, describing the surge in case numbers as unsustainable.
"I think a sense of complacency has crept into us as we let our frustrations get the better of us. I think that each one know someone who has not been following the rules as well as they should have. I think each of us know that we have got no choice by to take very very difficult steps," Andrews said.One more photo below.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the unions
