Mandates to ease

UNDER the new pandemic rules that come into effect at 11.59pm this Friday, workers in selected industries, such as education and food distribution, will no longer be required to have their third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and the requirement for general workers to work from home, unless they are double-vaccinated, will be lifted.

LOCALS can celebrate the relaxation of more COVID-19 restrictions as of 11.59pm this Friday, when the State Government makes changes to the pandemic orders, including removing booster mandates for selected industries.

As part of Victoria’s ongoing management of the COVID-19 pandemic, health minister, Martin Foley has made “modest and sensible” changes to the pandemic orders, allowing Victorians more freedom as we adapt to living with COVID-19.
