CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) EASING OF RESTRICTIONS

The Premier has announced a gradual easing of restrictions in Victoria in relation to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Under the changes, it means that there will be five reasons to leave your home:

• shopping for food and supplies that you need
• care and caregiving
• exercise and outdoor recreation
• work and education – if you can’t do it from home
• visiting friends and family – if you really need to

These new arrangements will come into effect at 11.59pm on Tuesday 12 May.

This will be made available on the DHHS website https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/your-coronavirus-covid-19-questions-answered.
