VMC | UPDATING | Mandatory Face Coverings | Wednesday 22 July 2020 | 11.59pm

[Edited extract from public address]

Message from the Victorian Government

In line with advice from the Victorian Chief Health Officer, if you live in metropolitan Melbourne or Mitchell Shire, you must wear a face covering when you leave your home from 11.59pm on Wednesday 22 July 2020.

Wearing a face covering is a small action that can make a big difference in protecting our community.

If you live in metropolitan Melbourne or Mitchell Shire, there are still only 4 reasons to leave home:
  • shopping for food and supplies
  • care and caregiving
  • outdoor exercise
  • study or work – if you can’t do it from home
The fine for not wearing or carrying a face covering while out for one of these reasons will be $200.
