SYDNEY - Australia's Victoria state announced on Thursday that it will ease a number of Covid-19 restrictions as the hospitalisation numbers are decreasing.The number of hospitalisations gradually dropped from Monday's 465 to 401.
From 6pm on Friday, density limits will be removed for the state's hospitality venues, and indoor dance floors will be allowed to reopen. The 14-day hotel quarantine period for international visitors and aircrew who are not fully vaccinated will also be reduced to seven days. Some mitigation strategies in office-based settings, such as mask indoors will still be mandatory, but the health department is considering relaxing such limitations in the following weeks, due to the state's relatively high triple-dose vaccination coverage.
