A plane-load of travellers from Sydney to Melbourne has been ordered to self-isolate amid COVID-19 fears, as Victoria prepares to ease lifestyle restrictions including changes to face-mask use.

All passengers from Virgin flight VA838 which landed in Melbourne at 1.25pm on December 5 have been told to quarantine at home, after two international travellers failed to quarantine in Sydney and boarded the service.
