Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is weighing up an option whether to impose mandatory COVID-19 testing for Victorians wanting to travel, as he looks ahead to ease restrictions and reopen interstate borders.

State leaders have discussed lifting border restrictions for over a month at National Cabinet meetings, with Prime Minister Scott Morrison last month advocating all borders to open by the end of the year.
