Victoria’s fight against COVID-19 has intensified with the decision to implement mandatory testing for returned travellers before they are allowed out of quarantine in hotels.

The government says people in quarantine will be tested twice - firstly on day three and then again on day 11 of the 14-day quarantine period.
