Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has outlined further freedoms for the vaccinated once the state hits two crucial vaccine milestones. Here are the new rules.
The state will reach its 80 per cent vaccine milestone ahead of schedule, on Friday October 29, as capacity limits on retail, hospitality, gyms and entertainment venues ease.
Most outdoor settings will remain at 1 per 2sqm limit up to 500, where staff and patrons are fully vaccinated. Entertainment venues will reopen. For indoor seated venues including cinemas and theatres, there will be a 75 per cent capacity or a 1 per 4sqm limit up to 1,000 people and for non-seated indoor entertainment venues there will be a 1 per 4sqm limit with no patron cap.
Masks will remain mandatory indoors but are no longer required outdoors. It is highly recommended you continue to wear a mask outdoors where you cannot physically distance, such as busy streets or outdoor markets.Caps or density limits will be removed for all settings. Events with significant numbers of children may not be able to operate at full capacity while vaccines remain unavailable for children.
