CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) UPDATE 28 – Victoria’s Roadmap

The State Government has outlined the roadmap to deliver the National Plan on COVID-19. The following rules will apply at 70% 16+ fully vaccinated, from 11:59pm on the 21^st October 2021.

• There are no restrictions on reasons to leave home
• There is no curfew
• Movement between Metro Melbourne and Regional Victoria is restricted to specified purposes
• Private gatherings permitted for up to 10 visitors, including dependents, vaccination strongly recommended
• Public gatherings permitted for up to 15 including dependents, vaccination strongly recommended
• Must still work from home
• Community Facilities: changes relate to outdoor use only and are not relevant to Ross House (meeting room use not permitted except for essential support)

Once the State reaches 80% 16+ fully vaccinated the following changes will apply to Ross House:

• Work from home if you can OR go to work if you are fully vaccinated with a density quotient of 1-person per 2m2 for areas non-accessible to public. Masks must be worn at all times (exemptions apply).
• Community Facilities: Fully vaccinated only with a density quotient of 1-person per 4m2. Meeting room organisers will need to ensure attendees have been fully vaccinated and are able to sign in with the Ross House QR code, with a digital COVID-19 vaccine certificate connected to the Service Victoria App.

Once the State reaches 80% 12+ fully vaccinated additional restrictions will be removed and the State will transition to the National Plan.

RHA Staff will be working from home during the 70% phase and will start to return through the 80% 16+ and 80% 12+ phases as activity increases. Staff are available via email at rosshouse@rosshouse.org.au or on 9650 1599 if needed.
