Victorian COVID Update, 27 July 2021
Today is a good day. The Premier of Victoria has announced this morning that the lockdown for Victoria will end at midnight tonight as planned. From 11.59 pm tonight:
- Victorians will be able to leave their homes for any reason.
- Restaurants and cafes can also reopen for seated service.
- Retail and beauty and personal care will open in line with density limits, as will entertainment venues and community facilities.
- All businesses and venues can reopen with capacity and density limits of 1 person per 4 square metres.
- The rule of "if you can work from home, you should work from home" will again apply but office workers will be able to return up to 25 per cent or up to 10 people, whichever is greater.
- Schools will reopen for onsite learning to all students from tomorrow.
The following restrictions will remain:
- Social gatherings in the home are still not permitted.
- Masks will continue to be required everywhere indoors and outdoors (except in your private residence).
- Work on residential homes has not been specifically mentioned but the last time restrictions were at this level work on residential premises was permitted as long as the workers wore masks. If anything changes I will let you know as soon as the information becomes available.
