COVIDSafe Summer

From 11:59pm on Sunday, 6 December 2020 Victoria moves to COVIDSafe Summer restrictions.

These eased restrictions will let Victorians get back to doing the things they love, while also protecting everything we have worked so hard to achieve this year.

This means that:

• You must carry a face mask with you when you leave home.
• Wearing a face mask is only mandatory on public transport, while in taxis or ride share vehicles, or when going to large retail venues, including shopping centres, supermarkets and department stores.
• Wearing a face mask is strongly recommended indoors and outdoors when you can’t keep 1.5 metres distance from other people.
• Record keeping continues to be an important tool for helping Victoria to stay safe and stay open. Businesses that are required to record the details of visitors should use electronic record keeping or QR codes. The Victorian Government has a free QR code service.
• Restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs can open for seated and unseated service. They must use electronic record keeping and apply the two square metre rule to ensure that customers have enough room to keep 1.5 metres between themselves and others. There are no other limits on the number of customers. Venues can have up to 25 people before the two square metre rule needs to be applied.
• There are also changes to the number of people allowed at community facilities such as libraries, sporting facilities (such as gyms), and entertainment facilities (such as cinemas).
