Victoria COVID restrictions to ease on Friday with 25km radius and masks outside gone in Melbourne

Melbourne’s travel radius will be scrapped and restrictions on gatherings, masks and hospitality will ease under Victoria’s next steps.

On Wednesday, Acting Premier James Merlino held a much-anticipated press conference and said the “state can come back together”.

Regional Victoria has been under more eased restrictions, but metropolitan Melbourne has still had a ban on gatherings, a 25 kilometre travel limit and mandatory masks everywhere since moving out of lockdown last week.

That will all change from 11.59pm on Thursday.

Melbourne’s new restrictions

From Friday, Victorians will have complete freedom of movement with the 25-kilometre travel radius disappearing.

It was put in place to stop Melburnians travelling to the regions over the long weekend, but will be gone in the coming days.

There will be changes to mask rules and residents will only be required to wear them outdoors when they cannot social distance.

Masks will still need to be worn indoors.
