Overnight, Victoria’s Department of Health and Human Services announced a change in Melbourne’s mask rules.

From 11.59pm on Wednesday July 14, face masks are once again mandatory in all indoor settings outside the home – including workplaces and secondary schools – for anyone aged 12 or above, unless an exemption applies.

Masks must also be worn in outdoor settings where a 1.5-metre distance cannot be maintained from people outside your household.
