Victoria on track to hit vaccine milestone today

Victorians are hoping for a modest easing of COVID-19 restrictions, with the state likely to hit the 70 per cent first dose vaccination milestone today.

Government ministers and health officials met late into the night discussing potential changes and are due to meet again this morning.

It’s understood a plan to expand the 5km travel limit to 10km, increase exercise time to three hours will be implemented.

There’s also a push to lift the curfew, and it’s hoped small outdoor gatherings will be allowed.

It’s not known if the changes would take immediate effect.
