With steadily growing COVID-19 cases in Victoria, the State Government, via the Chief Medical Officer, has introduced changes to restrictions. These changes come into effect from 11.59 pm on Wednesday 22 July 2020.
There have been several additional restrictions announced; however, the most significant is that people 12 years and older must wear a face covering when they leave home. Several exemptions to this regulation apply, and full details can be found on the Victorian DHHS site here https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/updates/coronavirus-covid-19/updated-restrictions-1159pm-wednesday-22-july-2020.
For car wash operators, this regulation will require you to ensure all staff are wearing a face covering (mask) when at work. Several State Government articles have been produced on the matter of face coverings, and details can be found here https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/updates/coronavirus-covid-19/face-coverings-mandatory-melbourne-and-mitchell-shire#:~:text=To%20give%20people%20time%20to,to%20wear%20a%20face%20covering.
