VICS READY FOR MORE FREEDOM AS MILESTONE NEARS

VICTORIANS are close to reaching two major vaccination milestones and will see a raft of restrictions ease as soon as next weekend, it was announced on Sunday.

Premier Daniel Andrews announced two sets of rules – one being for when the state hit 90 per cent double-dose vaccination on November 24.

The other set of rules will be triggered on Friday at 6pm when the state is expected to have fully vaccinated 80 per cent of its population.

“(Once the vaccination rate reaches 90 per cent) there will be a fundamental change, a massive change in many respects, to the rules that we have all been living under,” Mr Andrews said.

It comes as the state recorded 1935 new locally acquired Covid-19 infections on Sunday as the virus spreads among the state’s younger population.

The Department of Health also confirmed that 11 more Victorians had died from the virus in the previous 24 hours.
