Victoria has gone another day with no new local COVID-19 cases, as the state prepares to take further steps out of restrictions from Friday.

The state processed 27,420 test results on Wednesday, when 15,875 vaccination doses were delivered at state-run sites.

It’s the eighth consecutive day without a locally acquired case being recorded.

From 11:59pm today, masks will no longer be required in schools and private workplaces such as offices and factories.

Density rules will also relax across hospitality and retail, provided COVID marshals are in place to ensure everyone is checking in.
