Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has said that he won’t be rushed into launching the state’s electronic customer check-in system as Victoria has yet to resolve privacy and security issues, leaving thousands of businesses to sort out how they will record details for contact tracing.

Andrews announced on Monday the easing of some restrictions that would allow patrons to dine in and shop in store for the first time in over 100 days. Further eases are scheduled for Nov. 8, increasing maximum capacity for indoor and outdoor activity.
