Victorians will no longer need to be fully vaccinated for non-essential retail, weddings, funerals and to use real estate services under state government changes to public health orders.Health Minister Martin Foley will sign pandemic orders on Wednesday under the new Public Health and Wellbeing Act, which will come into effect at 11.59pm and continue until 12 January.
An Omicron case was confirmed to have attended Sircuit Bar in Fitzroy between 9pm and midnight on Friday and then Collingwood's Peel Hotel between 11.30pm and 3am. Some 1,360 new cases were detected in the 24 hours to 8pm on Tuesday, a jump of 556 on the 804 recorded the previous day.Infections have more than quadrupled in a week, and it is the first time in months the state has recorded more than a thousand new cases in a single day.But the number of hospitalisations and deaths in NSW are a fraction of what they were then.
The latest infection numbers are not surprising, she says, because "we're in spreader event time pre-Christmas", with parties, large social events and end-of-school functions. All fully vaccinated international arrivals must self-isolate for 72 hours, have a negative result within the first 24 hours of arrival and avoid high-risk settings for a week.The prime minister has returned two negative COVID-19 tests after he was deemed to be a casual contact by NSW Health.
