Melbourne will earn the title of the world's most locked down city on Tuesday as it tips over more than 245 days in mandatory quarantine.
The town takes the title off Buenos Aires who formerly had the most stay-at-home orders since the beginning of the pandemic.
Other members of the '200-club' include London, Dublin and Prague.
Buenos Aires' 234 consecutive day record will be shattered by 22 days if Melbourne's lockdown ends as planned on October 26.
It comes as Premier Daniel Andrews announced mandatory vaccinations for thousands of workers.
From October 15, all workers on the Authorised Worker list will be required to have their first dose of a Covid vaccine in order to continue working on site. They will need to be fully vaccinated by November 26.
This rule applies to both Melbourne and regional Victorians.
"They are not about stopping people going to work. They are about making sure we can open up. They are about making sure people can go to work, that they can be safe, and that we can defend and deliver our road map for opening. That is what the national plan is all about," he said.
