Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews has announced restrictions will ease from midnight tonight and revert to the settings in place before New Year's Eve as the state records two new cases of local transmission.
The two new cases are primary close contacts of pre-existing cases and were both quarantining during their infectious period.
“I can confirm that we will from 11:59pm tonight … return to our COVIDSafe summer settings,” Mr Andrews said.
“Not New Year’s Eve, but the settings that were in place at Christmas time before we had those cases come to Victoria from Sydney”.
Masks will only be required in high risk settings including public transport, ride share and taxi vehicles, large retail settings such as shopping centres, supermarkets, department stores and indoor markets.
Up to 30 people per day will be allowed to attend a home for private gatherings and there will be up to 100 allowed at outdoor gatherings.
