With Victoria going to the next round of restrictions, Governor Andrews revealed that the government ’s message is no longer “stay at home.” On Sunday, Andrews announced a series of upcoming changes. From 11:59 pm on May 31st, Victorian families can have up to 20 people, which means that there can be 15 visitors for a family of 5. The number of people gathered outdoors can also be increased to 20 people.
There will be no changes for people who can work from home, and the authorities urge people to work from home at least until the end of June. Overnight stays in private residences and accommodation can be restored, as can camping and RV campsites. Libraries, youth centers, and other community facilities can also be reopened, and the limit is that no more than 20 people in a single area. From May 26th, the outdoor children’s playground will be reopened.
From 11:59 pm on May 31st, entertainment and cultural venues such as art galleries, museums, on-board movie theaters, and historical sites will be opened together with zoos and outdoor amusement parks, accommodating up to 20 spectators. The swimming pool will also be open, limited to 20 people. Manicure, SPA, tattoo and other beauty and personal care services will be open to up to 20 customers.
All government schools will be fully restored from June 9. Andrews said that the pick-up time and lunch break will be staggered, and the school will be cleaned many times, and the teacher should take social alienation. Victoria has previously stated that it will relax travel restrictions to promote tourism in forest-fired towns, which are the main source of revenue in the southern part of the state. State Governor Daniel Andrews said that from June 1, visitors will be able to spend the night in the state area.
Victoria will open ski slopes from June 22, but it is necessary to strictly abide by the hygiene regulations, and the test results show that the level of community communication is low. Andrews said: “It’s all about reopening, but it’s because we got some new test results and we can be sure how many viruses are there.”
More than 420,000 tests have been conducted since the beginning of 2020, and another 174,000 tests were conducted this month, one week ahead of the time set by health officials.
