Hundreds protest in Melbourne against new lockdown

Description

Hundreds protest in Melbourne as the city prepares to enter a sixth coronavirus lockdown. Victoria premier Dan Andrews said Thursday he had "no choice" but to make the "very difficult announcement" to lock down Melbourne and the rest of the virus-weary state little more than a week after the last lockdown ended. Sydney also reported a record number of new coronavirus cases as Australia falters in its efforts to bring a virulent Delta outbreak under control. IMAGES
