Episode description
Most of Australia's biggest cities have seen snap COVID-19 lockdowns, but none as frequently or devastatingly as Melbourne.
Today, the people of the Victorian capital entered their fourth lockdown since the beginning of the pandemic as part of state-wide measures to curb a growing number of cases.

Melbourne epidemiologist Prof. Nancy Baxter says it's mostly bad luck, and other cities could be next.
