The Victorian Government has introduced new restrictions in response to the emerging COVID-19 outbreak in Victoria.
From 5pm tonight the following restrictions will be in place in Victoria:
- The limit of people gathering in the home will be reduced to 15 from 30.
- Masks will be mandatory indoors. If you are planning to leave your home – take a mask and it needs to be worn anytime you are inside apart from when you're eating or drinking.
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is advising that Victorians don't go into the city unless you have a booking, wear a mask indoors, practice good hand hygiene and if you are sick – stay at home.
Anyone who has been in or visited the Blue Mountains or Wollongong regionals from 27 December will have until 11.59pm tonight to enter Victoria. You must apply for a new travel permit through Service Victori, get tested within 24 hours of returning to Victoria, and self-quarantine at home for 14 days from when you last left the region.
