A friend, stranger, mum or an ex? Victorian singles forced to choose their bubble partner | ABC News

ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “A friend, stranger, mum or an ex? Victorian singles forced to choose their bubble partner | ABC News” – below is their description.

Victoria’s second lockdown has been especially hard on the roughly 500,000 people across the State that live alone. As of this Monday, the Government is letting them create household “bubbles” with other singles to ease the loneliness. But what happens if you don’t have a potential bubble mate available? One woman who just moved to regional Victoria before the latest lockdown has put up a post on Facebook to find a bubble mate. She is going on walk dates with people in Ballarat, with a view to find the perfect companion. We also speak to bubble mates in lockdown in Melbourne (via Skype) and organisations that are trying to tackle loneliness in Victoria. #COVIDLockdownRules #BubbleBuddy
