Regional areas Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Traralgon, Colac and possibly Shepparton to watch for coronavirus.

 When Victoria went into tighter restrictions for Metropolitan Melbourne the one area this didn't make sense for was Geelong. There probably wasn't enough cases to warrant Geelong also going into tighter restrictions, but the problem was the large number of cases in the western Melbourne area meant the potential exposure appeared to be quite high. Surely there's many people in the west who also work in Geelong!

Now a few weeks later we can see the Victorian regional areas where the numbers are increasing. If you look at the map I've created and zoom out, you'll see a couple of regional areas are having problems with coronavirus.

The areas of concern should be: Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Traralgon, Colac and possibly Shepparton.

All of these regional areas appear to be experiencing a considerable number of coronavirus cases and perhaps stage 4 restrictions should be considered for those regions for a short period of time.

It did appear that Colac themselves went into tighter restrictions and it is good to see the local areas taking acting and not waiting for the Victorian government.
