Victorians are no longer obliged to wear a face covering in hospitality venues and offices, the Andrews government announced as it lifted a range of CCP virus restrictions for the Australian summer.

Premier Daniel Andrews unveiled the significant rule changes on Sunday as the state entered its 37th consecutive day without detecting a new virus case. Victoria imposed Australia’s toughest restrictions to combat the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as coronavirus.
