This link to Business Victorias website provides much needed information and clarification for your business, on the face covering guidelines coming into effect Sunday night. Even with a face covering, you should keep 1.5 metres distance between you and others, also making sure this is being practiced within your business.

Unfortunately Victoria has seen a second wave increase in covid19 cases over the last few days. Although most of these cases have been recorded in Melbourne, we need to stay extremely vigilant within our businesses in our region.
We ask all visitors to our town to respect and adhere to the social distancing measures within stores and also on the streets. Note customer capacity numbers when entering a store and please use the hand sanitiser provided along your travels.
We thank these visitors for their support of our town, in the way of stopping by, staying and buying from our local stores.
We look forward to welcoming you back when restrictions ease properly, and when the businesses can really capitalise on numbers and enjoy your company.
Businesses in need of claification on the current restrictions in force until the 12 July, can visit the below links I have posted in past weeks. Particularly business.vic.gov.au or victorianchamber.com.au
There are checklists, fact sheets, signage and posters for your businesses on the Victorian chambers website.
The Euroa Chamber is here for you, please contact a committee member to discuss any queries you have.
