21.01.2022 I know lots of people have been hanging out for today. We've come such a long way and now we're able to make a few changes. That's definitely worth celebratin...g. And it really is down to you. It's only because so many Victorians followed the advice that we've got the information and the confidence we need to take these steps. But and it's a big 'but' there's still a way to go. We still need everyone to use common sense and continue working from home wherever possible. I know not every job can be done remotely but if you can work from home, you must continue working from home. We simply can't have millions of trips on public transport every single day and maintain anything like the safe distancing we need. And if everyone hopped in the car and drove to work instead, our road network would be at a standstill. Limiting the number of people moving around the state means we're able to cautiously ease restrictions and get back to a few more of the things we've all been missing. Here's your quick guide to what's changed:
