MELBOURNE: Melbourne, the world's most locked-down city that emerged from its latest spate of COVID-19 restrictions on Friday, will see more curbs eased next week when Victoria state reaches an 80 per cent full vaccination rate, officials said on Sunday .

Starting on Friday, when 80 per cent of people across Victoria - of which Melbourne is the capital - are expected to be fully vaccinated, Melburnians will be free to travel throughout the state and masks will no longer be required outdoors. As the state moves towards a"vaccinated economy" in which only fully inoculated people will be allowed into venues, a 90 per cent percent rate is expected around Nov 24, Andrews said.
