Every COVID-19 restriction that has eased in Victoria

Life in Victoria is feeling much closer to normal after COVID-19 restrictions eased further for those fully vaccinated against the virus.

Restrictions eased at midnight ahead of the state reaching its 90 per cent vaccination milestone in the next few days.

The change means there are no more density restrictions anywhere.

"There are no more caps, there are no more closures. There are no more rules in terms of how many people can be in different spaces," Mr Andrew said.

Masks are no longer needed to enter a building and fully vaccinated people can return to the office.

Here's a full rundown of what has changed.

Do I have to wear a face mask?

In certain circumstances, yes.

Masks are still required in indoor retail settings, for primary school staff, visitors and for students in grades 3 and above, for select workers in hospitals or care facilities, as well as for people using public transport, taxis, rideshare services and planes.

Retail customers no longer need to wear masks after December 15 — in line with New South Wales' restrictions — providing the state's hospitals are not overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients.

People working in high-risk settings such as corrections, meat, poultry and seafood processing still need to wear masks.

Mask requirements are still in place for weddings, funerals, places of worship and other settings if the vaccination status of attendees is not being checked.

How many people can I have in my home?

As many as you like! There are no limits on gatherings at home or outdoors.

However, the Victorian Government is "strongly recommending" everyone visiting a home or gathering in a public place to be fully vaccinated.

Can I go back to work/the office?

On-site work can resume as normal — only for the fully vaccinated.

How many people can attend venues and events?

There are no more COVID-19 restrictions on cafes, restaurants, venues or events.

They can mostly operate as they did pre-pandemic except for the fact that all attendees, customers and staff have to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

The rule change means large-scale events such as the upcoming Boxing Day Ashes Test at the MCG will be able to go ahead with a full crowd of 100,000 vaccinated attendees.

"Whether it is 100,000 people at the MCG on Boxing Day, or a smaller group of people standing up at the local pub having a beer, this is a COVID normal that every Victorian has wanted," Mr Andrews said.

"Significant venues" hosting major events will need to have one-off government approval of their COVIDSafe venue plan.

Events with significant numbers of children may not be able to operate at full capacity while vaccines remain unavailable for young kids.

What restrictions are in place for retail and personal services?

A key change that came into effect today is vaccination certificates are required to enter non-essential retail stores — that means pretty much any store that isn't a supermarket, post office or chemist.

Masks will still be required in retail stores until December 15, providing the state's hospitals are not overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients.

Only the fully vaccinated can attend personal services including hairdressing and beauty services, and real estate open for inspections and auctions.

What are the restrictions for schools, childcare and adult education?

Schools, childcare centres and early childhood educations are completely open.

Staff must wear masks indoors at primary schools, as must all students in grade 3 and above and visitors.

Only the fully vaccinated can attend adult education in person.

Have isolation requirements changed?

Close contacts of positive COVID-19 cases no longer have to isolate for seven days.

Instead, they only need to get tested and isolate until they get a negative result.

The new rule does not apply to household contacts, but it means people who have been in close contact with a positive case at venues such as offices, restaurants and other locations do not need to isolate.

"As long as (your test) is negative, you are free to go about your life," Health Minister Martin Foley said.

Exposure sites are no longer being published and the Department of Health is instead using a new alert function in the Service Victoria app to notify patrons of higher-risk venues that positive cases have attended.

Those people will be required to get tested.

What does life look like for the unvaccinated?

Unvaccinated people are legally not be allowed to work in "essential" roles, and they cannot attend cafes, restaurants, venues, non-essential shops or events.

They can still attend essential stores like supermarkets and post offices, and if organisers choose not to enforce vaccination statuses, they can attend private real estate inspections.

They can mostly only visit homes, be outdoors and go to essential shops.

Where can I travel?

Victorians can freely travel around the state.

They will also be able to travel interstate, depending on each state's border restrictions.

International travel is also allowed for Victorians.
