More Covid-19 restrictions are set to be enforced on Victorians as cases continue to skyrocket in the state.
Density limits will be brought back on hospitality venues while residents are also expected to be told to work from home.
Health Minister Martin Foley will announce the changes at midday on Thursday but they are expected to mirror similar restrictions introduced in NSW before the New Year.
These changes saw pubs and restaurants be limited to one person per 2sqm and patrons were encouraged to not mingle with other groups while out.
