In this week’s COVID-19 update, Victoria relaxes its rules around face coverings, New South Wales had a hotel quarantine scare and Western Australia permitted quarantine-free travel for people from New South Wales and Victoria.


Highlights

  • They're now only required on public transport, in shops and department stores and in environments where it's difficult to maintain a physical distance.
  • Premier Daniel Andrews says face coverings must be carried at all times to make it easy for people to wear them when required.
  • Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration [[TGA]] says it will be well placed to make decisions on vaccine approvals by the end of next month.
