Victoria has recorded 10 new locally acquired cases of COVID-19, all of which were in quarantine throughout their infectious period.
Key points:
- 🔵 Premier Daniel Andrews is expected to formally announce eased restrictions later today
- 🔵 Schools will reopen and patrons will be able to dine in hospitality venues again, government sources say
- 🔵 Victoria's peak business group is urging the government to be faster in reopening
The cases were detected from 24,340 test results processed on Monday.
Government authorities are meeting this morning and Premier Daniel Andrews is expected to formally announce how restrictions will ease when the lockdown lifts at midnight.
Schools are expected to reopen from Wednesday and hospitality businesses are likely to reopen with strict density limits.
Masks are likely to remain mandatory indoors and outdoors and visitors to the home will remain off-limits, government sources have told the ABC.
The Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) has already flagged its concern about a slow easing of restrictions, saying overly strict density limits would make it too difficult for some businesses to operate.
"Victoria was fast into lockdown, and we've again quashed an outbreak from another state," VCCI chief executive Paul Guerra said.
"We need to be fast out, so Victorians can get back to work and businesses can start recovering.
"Every business understands that this is a health pandemic, and every business has a COVID-safe plan in place.
"Provided we all continue to QR code check-in, we should be able to accelerate out of lockdown five and hopefully get to a point where we can trade viably again."
