Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced today the state’s five-day circuit-breaker lockdown would end at midnight tonight. The state’s health department reported zero new cases overnight from nearly 40,000 tests — the highest number of daily tests recorded in Victoria since the start of the pandemic.

Under the latest changes:

the “four reasons to leave your home” rule will lift
so does the 5km travel limit
masks are still mandatory indoors when away from home
masks are still mandatory outdoors when you can’t physically distance
