Victoria scraps most COVID-19 rules

Victorians will be allowed back on dancefloors as almost all remaining COVID-19 restrictions are scrapped from midnight, in the state's race towards 90 per cent full vaccination.

From Friday, fully vaccinated Victorians will be able to dance in clubs, there will be no home visitor limits and no density limits for cafes and restaurants.

Non-essential retail will join the state's vaccinated economy, meaning only fully vaccinated people can visit shops unless they are aged under 12 years and two months or have a valid exemption.

Masks will no longer be required for customers visiting hospitality venues, however workers must continue wearing them.

However, Victorians will need to continue wearing masks for a few more weeks in retail settings, on public transport and for primary school staff, visitors and students in years three to six.

From December 15 retail customers will no longer need to wear masks, unless there is a significant jump in hospitalisations.

Indoor events can host up to 30,000 punters, however one-off approval is needed to exceed that capacity.

The changes mean the Boxing Day Test and Australian Open will be able to proceed at full capacity, subject to approval of the MCG and Melbourne Park's plans.

People who attend weddings, funerals and places of worship that do not check vaccination statuses will be required to wear masks and be subject to density limits.

There will also be changes to isolation rules, with anyone who comes in contact with a confirmed virus case outside their home not required to self-quarantine.

Close contacts must, however, get a PCR test and isolate until they receive a negative result.

The quarantine change means businesses will no longer have to deep clean their premises after a positive case, or ask the department of health for approval.

Victoria is now 88 per cent double-vaccinated in those aged over 12 and is expected to hit 90 per cent this weekend.

Austria will enter a full national lockdown and make vaccines mandatory by February next year after setting a daily record of new COVID-19 case numbers.

The lockdown, starting on Monday, will be the first in western Europe this autumn as a fourth wave drives case numbers upwards across the continent.

Austria has some of the lowest vaccinations rates in western Europe – at around 65 per cent of the population.

Other European nations, including Germany, are also considering new restrictions as cases surge due to a combination of colder weather and low vaccination numbers.

New daily infections have risen 14-fold in the past month in Saxony, a stronghold of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which harbours many vaccine sceptics and anti-lockdown protesters.

Last weekend the Netherlands announced a three-week partial lockdown, while the Czech Republic and Slovakia have also put in place restrictions on unvaccinated citizens.

Ireland has also forced nightclubs and pubs to shut early due to a rise in COVID infections, and will ramp up the use of booster vaccines over winter.

On Friday Hungary reported 11,289 new COVID-19 cases, its highest daily tally, and will make booster shots mandatory for all healthcare workers and require mask wearing in most indoor places from Saturday.

PRELIMINARY DATA but good news for your afternoon! Pfizer vaccine’s is only  SLIGHTLY less effective in preventing infection with Omicron than with Delta- 90% as opposed to 95%- while it is AS EFFECTIVE in preventing serious symptoms- around 93% – at least for those boosted!
