From 11.59pm tonight, COVID restrictions across Victoria (including the City of Yarra) will ease, following the Premier’s announcement this morning.  

What’s changing? 

Social gatherings

• The stay at home direction and 5km limit will both be lifted. 
• Up to 20 people can gather outdoors from any number of households (infants under 12 months aren’t included in this cap).
• You can have up to 5 visitors to your home per day (infants under 12 months aren’t included in this cap).

Masks

• You must still wear a mask indoors (except in your home), and outdoors when you can’t physically distance from others.

Workplaces

• Hospitality, retail, community facilities, community sport and recreation, entertainment venues and public places can reopen – with some limits on crowd sizes and density.
• Schools and early education will reopen.
• There will be a return to 50% capacity for both public and private offices.

You can find the Premier’s announcement and a list of restrictions and essential workers at the Victorian Government’s website.
