What Victoria’s coronavirus restrictions mean for your New Year’s Eve plans

Victorians are having to suddenly reassess their New Year’s Eve plans after six locally acquired coronavirus infections prompted the State Government to reintroduce restrictions.

Here’s what the Victorian Government’s latest COVID-19 restriction announcement means for your plans.

The limit on visitors to homes has been cut from 30 to 15

If you were planning a big party tonight, you might need to cancel or uninvite people.

From 5:00pm, the cap on visitors to your home will drop from 30 to 15.

That means you can have 15 visitors to your home, in addition to your household.

Under the existing rules, visiting children are counted unless they are less than one year old.
