Dan Andrews, the premier of the Australian state of Victoria, is drawing up plans to give vaccinated residents more “freedoms,” while taking a “lock out” approach to those who refuse to get the COVID-19 jab, including by barring them from venues such as stadiums, cinemas, and pubs.

Andrews confirmed that discussions were taking place with industry to see how a so-called “vaccinated economy” would work, with the required technology set to be trialled in regional Victoria once it exits lockdown.
