Capacity limits inside some Victorian venues will be scrapped and a single QR code system will come into effect this month under a raft of changes to COVID-19 rules.
Small and medium-sized venues will be able to host up to 200 people per space without the density limit of one person per two square metres from May 28.
However, COVID marshals must be onsite and people must check-in using the Victorian Government s QR Code through the Service Victoria app.
Large venues above 400 square metres in space will still need to comply with density limits.

The government has also contracted hotels into the quarantine program and paid them millions for the service before cutting them out of the scheme without the sites hosting a single guest.
Hundreds of hotel quarantine employees have received payment in full despite not working in hotels.
Manager and head of infection control at a Melbourne quarantine hotel both fired after reports of dozens of incidents were lodged in the first four weeks of its operation.
