The Victorian state government of Australia has announced an ease to mask restrictions and work from home recommendations from Feb. 25, citing declining COVID-19 hospitalisation rates and increasing third-dose vaccination rates.
Masks will still be required at indoor setting for students in Year 3 and above and for early learning workers, staff in transport, medical environments, as well as workers in hospitality, retail, the court system, correctional facilities and large events with more than 30,000 people.
