Restrictions will ease again at 6pm on 29 October, thanks to so many Victorians taking action to protect themselves and their community. For more information, visit Victoria's Roadmap.

The Victorian Government will legislate a new pandemic-specific part of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008. For more information, visit Laws to enshrine safe and clear pandemic responses.

Service Victoria has updated its app to include a new feature that notifies Victorians within the app if they have checked in at a Tier 1 exposure site listed on the Coronavirus website. This new feature is another way Victorians can be aware if they have visited a Tier 1 exposure site, allowing them to isolate faster to protect the community.

The Department of Health is working closely with NSW Health to respond to increasing cases in the Albury Wodonga area. COVID-19 testing is available in Wodonga at the drive through at Albury Wodonga Health at 79 Vermont St, and the walk-through Wodonga Respiratory Clinic at 224-226 Beechworth Rd.
