Covid Restrictions Victoria : Victoria Lockdown Update: Vic Covid Update
The lock-down of Victoria has been extended until the first COVID-19 dose of 70% of the residents.
Prime Minister Daniel Andrews reopened a playground tomorrow, starting at 11.59 pm, but he said that the risks were too high to reduce further restrictions until the stage of vaccination, scheduled for September 23, had been met.
The five-kilometer journey radius is extended to 10 kilometres, more exercise is allowed and construction facilities can also reach 50% of capacity when the vaccination target is achieved.
On the advice of the Chief Health Officer, Victoria’s lockdown will be extended to slow the spread and keep Victorians safe.

The reopening of community gym and skate parks, the return of outdoor personal training, private inspections of properties for a new purchase or the end of a rental, will be another restriction to be eased after this objective has been achieved.
