Victoria has recorded its 41st day without any new COVID-19 cases, with no one diagnosed with coronavirus since 30 October in Victoria. Mask-wearing is now only mandatory in indoor shopping centres and public transport, including rideshares and taxis, but relaxed in other settings. Victorians must still carry a mask with them at all times and wear it when a physical distance of 1.5 metres cannot be maintained, but mask use is encouraged, but not mandatory, in other situations. Cafes, restaurants and pubs can double their patron numbers to a maximum of one person per 2 sq m and nightclubs can reopen from midnight. People are able to have up to 30 visitors at home, while outdoor gatherings can now have up to 100 people. (Photo by Daniel Pockett/Getty Images)
