Error on Victoria's roadmap wrongly stated entertainment venues could reopen at 70 per cent vaccine milestone
An error spotted in Victoria's roadmap out of lockdown that wrongly stated entertainment venues could reopen on Friday has been fixed.
The mistake, which detailed that entertainment venues could reopen at 70 per cent double dose with 20 fully vaccinated people indoors and 50 outdoors, led to confusion in the community.
Premier Daniel Andrews today said the error was a "typo" which was amended within hours of being published online on Sunday.

Entertainment venues are due to reopen when the state hits its 80 per cent double dose vaccination milestone.
"That was corrected and again, I apologise if there's any sense that a sector has been included that shouldn't have been - but it does not include entertainment venues," Mr Andrews said.
"Entertainment venues will be covered by 80 per cent and again I'll just stress that is not this Thursday, not the Sunday straight thereafter, but the Sunday after that, probably."

Mr Andrews said it was not safe for all sectors and industries to reopen at once.
However, the state was on track to reach the 80 per cent target ahead of schedule, possibly by October 30 or 31.
"It is literally eight or nine days and then we can have everything open,' he said.
"We're going to race and that second deadline, the 80 per cent deadline much quicker than we thought - that was going to be the middle of November at one point."
