These are the new rules in Victoria after the snap lockdown lifts

Victorians are waking up to new rules on Thursday as the state eases out of a five-day snap lockdown.

From today, residents can travel more than 5 kilometres from home, but they must wear masks in crowded places.

The new rules will be in place until next Friday, the end of the 14-day incubation period for the last of the people who tested positive in the latest outbreak at the Holiday Inn.

“This circuit breaker has worked, but the issue is not over, and the virus is not gone,” said Premier Daniel Andrews.

These rules will stay in place for nine days until February 26, said Mr Andrews. Then, they’re likely to be eased, unless more cases are detected.
