Tough new Covid-19 restrictions have come into force in Victoria today, as the state records 37,169 new cases and 25 deaths.
Hospitalisations in Victoria are at a record high of 953, a slight increase from the 946 a day ago, with 111 in intensive care.
From 11.59pm on Thursday, indoor dance-floors at hospitality and entertainment venues are closed, with the exception of weddings.
Workers in emergency services, education, critical utilities, transport and freight will join the food sector in being exempt from close contact isolation requirements.
'They will be exempt if they are playing a critical role, they will be exempt from having to do home isolation,' Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced.
