On Sunday 17^th, the Victorian government gave us the good news that from midnight  Thursday, October 20 (which means first thing Friday October 21), we will have reached  the threshold of 70 percent of people 16 years old and over fully vaccinated. For  Religious gatherings, funerals and weddings, the following limits apply:

• Fully Vaccinated: Outdoor maximum of 50 people
• Fully Vaccinated: Indoor maximum of 20 people
• Unknown vaccination status: Outdoor maximum of 20 people
• Unknown vaccination status: Indoor maximum of 10 people

From Friday November 5 we’re likely to be able to gather indoors for religious gatherings  and weddings, with a 4 square metres per person ratio, maximum of 150, on the  condition that we know that everyone present is fully vaccinated. For HSR, this is a  maximum of 47 and for Virginia St it’s 52 fully vaccinated people in the worship space.  If the vaccination status of worshippers is unknown, it’s a maximum of 20 people, either  indoors or outdoors. 

At HSR and St John’s, we are working towards having face to face worship from  Sunday 14^th November. Numbers will be limited and booking through the  church offices will be required.
