Victoria has recorded just one new Covid case as Melbourne prepares for the end of lockdown on Friday with a new set of eased restrictions.

State health authorities are set to make a final call on ending the city’s lockdown, with a 25-kilometre travel limit possible to keep residents out of the regions.

Melbourne’s extended ‘circuit breaker’ is set to end at 11.59pm on Thursday and be replaced with restrictions similar to those currently in regional Victoria.

That would involve a continued ban on private gatherings, venue density limits and mandatory indoor masks in most settings.

The 10km limit on travel from home is likely to be extended to 25km after Acting Premier James Merlino flagged Melbourne residents will be unable to enter regional Victoria over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend.

The government was locked in ‘positive’ discussions with health officials on Tuesday night about plans to lift the lockdown. The details will be finalised on Wednesday

‘It remains the public health advice that for judi sbobet a period of time we will have different settings between regional Victoria and metropolitan Melbourne,’ Mr Merlino told reporters on Tuesday.

‘That will extend beyond any announcements that we will make later in the week.

‘There is very good reasons for that.

We absolutely want to run this into the ground and ensure that there’s no risk of this spreading out into regional Victoria.’

Outdoor gatherings will likely be restricted to ten people, while capacity limits will be cast over venues, with cafes and restaurants limited to 50 customers.

It is anticipated that schools will reopen for in-class learning from next week, but gyms will remain closed.
