Victoria’s five day ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown finished at 11:59pm on Wednesday, here are the new rules: 

– Masks still mandatory indoors and outdoors if you can’t socially distance 

– Only five people allowed round to homes until Friday February 26

– Maximum 20 people at outdoor gatherings

– 5km rule scrapped – meaning Victorians can travel all over the state 

– No limits on funeral numbers and weddings can resume with capacity limits

– Schools can reopen

– Retail and hospitality – including pubs and restaurants – can also reopen, but with one person per four square metres
