Victoria has recorded no new local cases of coronavirus after mask-wearing rules were reintroduced at midnight to combat a growing number of cases and high-risk exposure sites and the state government meets to discuss further restrictions.
Health authorities reported 11 new cases yesterday but 10 of those are officially included in Thursday’s figures. Two schools have closed after one of the new outbreaks spread to regional Victoria.
While masks are now mandated indoors across the state, plenty of Victorians are masking up outside too.

All 10 of Thursday’s cases are linked to the current outbreaks.
Eight of the government’s most senior cabinet ministers were meeting on Thursday morning to hammer out a new plan to deal with the fast-moving outbreaks.
