The Victorian state government of Australia will roll out a stimulus package worth $200 million (US$144 million) to fast-track economic recovery from its COVID-19 measures as Omicron variant wave subsides.

The funding announced on Feb. 21 would cover around $100 million (US$72 million) in rebate schemes to encourage people’s spending on dining, entertainment, and travel within the state.
