13.01.2022 Today the Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced masks and face coverings will be mandatory for Greater Melbourne (Melbourne and Mitchell Shire residents), in a new measure to slow the spread of coronavirus. The rule will come into effect from Thursday 23rd July 2020 with a $200 penalty for people not wearing a mask or face covering while in public. Therefore any residents who travel to Melbourne should be aware of this upgrade to the State of Emergency restrictions. Da...niel Andrews said: "If you are out of your home for one of the four permitted reasons, then you need to be wearing a mask. "It need not be a hospital-grade mask, it can be a scarf, it can be a homemade mask." https://www.sbs.com.au//masks-to-be-mandatory-in-melbourne
