Face coverings will no longer be required in Victorian retail outlets, including supermarkets. The move comes as the state eases restrictions after eliminating community transmission of COVID-19.


Victorians can have 100 visitors at home and won't need to wear masks at shops in the most significant easing of restrictions since the start of the pandemic.  Acting Premier James Merlino announced that  people will be able to have 100 visitors at home, up from the previous cap of 30, while public gatherings can double from 100 to 200. Sporting stadiums will be able to operate at 75 per cent capacity.
