Coronavirus: Melbourne couple sent different lockdown orders despite living in same house

Frustrated cafe owners, parents and retirees have spoken out against the lockdown in their areas after premier Daniel Andrews issued a stay-at-home order to 36 suburbs, plunging them back into stage three restrictions.

Rami owns Mocha and Matcha in Broadmeadows and says he had just finished restocking his café with food before the announcement was made.

"This food pretty much, we're going to throw it away. We have heaps of food being thrown away during the last lockdown, because we can't rotate out and it doesn't last in the fridges," he told A Current Affair.

Maureen, 70, says her life has been flipped upside because of the lockdown.

"I used to go every Wednesday to the RSL, have lunch with my girlfriend in Coburg, now I can't do it. I go to my daughter's in Taylors Lake every Friday to babysit my granddaughter because they've got a pizza shop, can't do that now," she told A Current Affair.

Married couple Zouher and Nayfeh Hanna have been together for 57 years and they've lived in Broadmeadows for 54.

But in a letter sent to each of them from the state government, a different postcode is listed despite them living at the same property.

Zouher is listed as living in postcode 3055 (Brunswick West) while the other letter has Nayfeh's postcode as 3056 (Brunswick). Meaning Nayfeh is in lockdown while Zouher is not.

"We're confused," Zouher told A Current Affair reporter Marty King.

The stay-at-home order will begin at midnight tonight and last until late July. Anyone caught by Victoria Police without a valid reason for being outside could face a fine of $1652.
