The Government has also updated current pandemic orders and public health recommendations which will come in at 11:59pm tonight, including reducing the testing and isolation exemption for positive cases from 12 weeks down to four.

The Victorian Chamber stands ready to assist and support businesses as they continue navigating the tough winter conditions.

To be attributed to Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chief Executive Paul Guerra:

“The Victorian Chamber is cognisant of concerns over the increase in COVID-19 case numbers, coupled with a difficult cold and flu season.

“Business can and will play our part, just as we have throughout the pandemic. We will continue to engage and work with our teams and clients to keep everyone safe and stop the spread.

“The Victorian Chamber welcomes the approach of recommendations and not mandates. This puts the decision making back on the individual and businesses. We have advocated that mandates should be avoided. This is a common sense approach which enables people to make their own decisions to protect their health, the health of their clients and their family and friends.

“We would also encourage our members to support their teams to get their third or fourth COVID-19 vaccination, such as time off to attend appointments.”
