Victoria has almost entirely run out of the Pfizer jab forcing health officials to beg for vaccine donations from other states amid its lockdown. Under eased restrictions for regional Victoria, there will be no limit on how far people can travel and outdoor gatherings of up to 10 will be allowed. Last year's so-called 'ring of steel' to enforce the differing restrictions between Melbourne and regional Victoria isn't coming back, with roving police patrols to be used instead. Meanwhile, restrictions will ease in regional Victoria from midnight Thursday if the concerning cluster continues to be confined to the city. Anyone who has visited a Tier 1 exposure site must immediately isolate, get a Covid test and quarantine for 14 days.
