Victoria is officially COVID-free after the last patient from the state's horror second wave was released from hospital. The man's departure follows his wife's, aged in her 80s, who was discharged from the same hospital on Thursday. They must still wear masks in indoor environments including workplaces, supermarkets and public transport, and carry them at all times. Melburnians have been required to wear face masks outside since mid-July and the rule was extended to regional Victoria in early August. The state's virus death toll stands at 819, with the national figure 907.
