With almost 70 per cent of adults having received their third dose, Victoria will move into winter with most restrictions removed.
What’s changing?
As of 11:59pm on Friday 22 April the following changes are in place:
- Vaccination status no longer needs to be shown at any venue.
- QR code check-in is no longer required.
- COVID-19 marshals are no longer required.
- Masks are no longer required in:
- primary schools
- early childhood centres
- hospitality and retail venues
- at events of any size
- Household-like contacts are no longer required to isolate for 7 days. These are people who have spent more than 4 hours with a positive case. However, the contact must:
- Always wear a mask indoors except in their home.
- Avoid sensitive settings.
- Take at least 5 Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) across the 7 days following contact with the positive case.
- People are exempt from testing or quarantine for 12 weeks (changed from 8 weeks) if they have had COVID-19.
What stays the same?
COVID-19 positive people are still required to isolate for 7 days following a positive result.
What about vaccination?
It’s still important to protect yourself, your family, and your community from COVID-19.
You can also go to local GPs, pharmacies, and health centres in Yarra to get your vaccine.
