Melbourne has officially recorded the dreadful new milestone, trading its prestigious title of most liveable city for the world’s most locked down metropolis.

The city has now been in lockdown for 246 days, with the Covid restrictions among the strictest in the world, surpassing the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires in terms of days in lockdown.

The shocking figure is said to be costing Victoria’s economy $700 million per week.
