Lockdown 4.0
‘Take care, stay safe and breathe…… 4 counts in, 8 counts out, three times. It’s what elite military forces do to calm their nerves’.
New changes have been introduced to slow the spread of COVID-19 by reducing the number of people leaving their homes and moving around Victoria.
This means that you cannot leave your home unless you are doing so for one of the five following reasons:
- shopping for necessary goods and services
- care and caregiving, including medical care, or to get a COVID-19 test
- exercise
- authorised work and permitted study
- to get a COVID-19 vaccination.
Victorians may also leave home to visit their intimate partner, their single social bubble buddy, or in an emergency – including those at risk of family violence.
As of 11:59pm Thursday 27 May, you will be required to remain wherever you stay that night. There will be exemptions for some situations, including authorised work, medical care and compassionate reasons.
You must stay within 5km of your home for shopping and exercise. This limit does not apply to authorised work, when giving or receiving care, getting a COVID-19 vaccination or visiting an intimate partner or your single social bubble buddy.
Face masks must be worn indoors and outdoors whenever you leave your home.
You can leave your home in an emergency or if there is family violence.
These actions will protect our loved ones, friends, colleagues, health care workers and the community.

QR codes in our community:
When you are out and about in our communities, please continue to use QR codes to check in at venues and facilities. Each check-in is site specific – which means if you go to the supermarket, service station and post office, you MUST check in at each site. When you check-in, you create a record of the time and date you visited a venue. This means that if there is a COVID-19 outbreak, contact tracers can quickly access your contact information and get in touch with you, if you’ve visited a public exposure site. This will help to contain a COVID-19 outbreak. Again, this is a simple thing to do that will keep our communities safe, so please continue to use QR codes when visiting local places.
