Australia's second-largest city has begun a second lockdown in response to a spike in new coronavirus infections.
Melbourne's five million residents will be barred from leaving home for six weeks, except for essential reasons.
Police say they are setting up a "ring of steel" around the city, with "checkpoints anytime and anywhere" to enforce the measures.
Australia has recorded almost 9,000 cases and 106 deaths from the virus.
