The State Government has announced that additional COVIDSafe measures will be put in place across Greater Melbourne, following an emerging outbreak in the Northern Suburbs.
From 6pm tonight (Tuesday 25 May 2021), the below restrictions will be in place:
- Private gatherings in the home will be limited to five visitors per day
- Public gatherings will be limited to 30 people
- Face masks will need to be worn indoors, unless an exemption applies. The face mask requirement applies to everyone aged 12 years and older.
Schools and workplaces will remain open with the current restrictions that are in place. Victorians who live in Greater Melbourne and need to travel to regional Victoria can still do so, however the restrictions travel with them.
Hospital and aged care visitor restrictions will also now apply state-wide.
Victorians are reminded to follow COVIDSafe measures, such as using QR codes to check in to venues and facilities, maintaining good hand hygiene, and if you have symptoms, get tested as soon as possible and stay isolated in accordance with health advice.
