COVID restrictions are set to be eased across regional Victoria on Friday.
With no community transmission of the virus in regional Victoria this week, the news was announced on Wednesday morning by Acting Premier James Merlino, who said the government will use the following 24 hours to continue tracing and testing and confirm if the changes in restrictions can go ahead at midnight Thursday.
