Victorian cafes, restaurants and pubs offering dining will be allowed to host up to 20 patrons from June 1, Premier Daniel Andrews has announced.
Key points:
* Venues will have to take down the details of all patrons to assist with contact tracing.
* Public bars and gaming areas will remain shut, and food courts can only serve takeaway.
* Mr Andrews said everyone who could work from home should continue to do so.
Under a staged plan for the hospitality sector announced this morning, from June 22, venues would be able to host up to 50 people per enclosed space, and from mid-July, patron limits would be increased to 100 people.
Existing physical distancing requirements will continue to apply, meaning each person will need four square metres of space, and tables will need to be spaced at least 1.5 metres apart.
