"&lt;p&gt;The metropolitan Melbourne area has entered Stage 4 coronavirus lockdown restrictions in a bid to curtail the escalating coronavirus crisis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As part of a State of Disaster today announced by Premier Daniel Andrews, Stage 4 restrictions would come into effect in metropolitan Melbourne from 6pm and a curfew will also be implemented across from 8pm until 5am each day. This will last for six weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stay-at-home restrictions mean residents can&amp;apos;t their homes and go further than a 5km radius, with the measure set to be heavily enforced by police and defence force members.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EXPLAINED: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.9news.com.au/national/coronavirus-melbourne-stage-4-restrictions-explained-curfews-lockdown-what-is-open-closed-changes-covid19/652ee0f9-cc22-41df-b465-9a765a45c496&quot; title=&quot;What changes under Melbourne&amp;apos;s Stage 4 restrictions&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What changes under Melbourne&amp;apos;s Stage 4 restrictions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;"
