The Australian state of Victoria is dropping most of its COVID-19 rules, including vaccination passports, QR code check-ins, mask mandates, and close contact isolation.
Health Minister Martin Foley announced that from April 23, patrons will no longer be required to have two COVID-19 vaccination doses or show their vaccination status before entering a venue, ending the state’s vaccinated economy.
People also will not need to check-in using the Service Victoria app and businesses will no longer be required to keep the check-in attendance records.
Mask mandates have been dropped in primary schools, early childhood, hospitality, and retail settings, and at all events.
