Victorian Premier Dan Andrews has revealed just what freedoms the state can expect once it hits a major milestone.Case numbers in Victoria have experienced a drop as fully vaccinated residents enter their first weekend of freedom. The state reported 1935 new infections – a slight increase from Saturday's 1750 cases – and 11 deaths.Meanwhile, NSW has recorded 296 new cases and four deaths, with cases expected to rise over the coming days due to the state's eased restrictions.Queensland has recorded no new local cases despite being on high alert after a rideshare driver was infectious in the community for 10 days.Authorities said the man is "so sick" he can barely speak with contact tracers.Victoria is expected to reach its 90 per cent double dose milestone on November 24 - and it will mean "very few rules" for the vaccinated."There will be no caps anywhere," Victorian Premier Dan Andrews said."There will be no density questions anywhere. Masks will only be required in high-risk indoor settings, such as public transport, prisons, hospitals, aged care, to give you some examples."Vaccinated economy 'here to stay' in VictoriaAndrews stressed that many of these freedoms will only be available to the "vaccinated economy", which is "here to stay"."We will retain the vaccinated economy, all those requirements, although settings, where you only get in if you are double vaccinated, and you can tap and verify that for everybody," he said."But the vaccinated economy is here to stay. It will not be being folded up moments after it gets too full peak."In fact, we will add to the vaccinated economy by asking and mandating that all non-essential retail will have to be vaccinated as well, both to go in, and also to work on those settings."But as the state opened up, Andrews said Victorians could expect two rules in place through next year."Some masks in some settings, principally indoors, where there is a greater risk, and the economy being open to you only if you have had to shots, only if you are fully vaccinated," he said."They are two rules that be enduring. They are the two rules that will be with us right throughout 2022."VictoriaVictoria has recorded 1935 new Covid-19 infections as the virus sweeps through a large cohort of unvaccinated people.Eleven more Victorians also died from the virus in the past 24 hours, the Department of Health also confirmed.About 90.3 per cent of Victorians above the age of 16 had received one jab of the Covid-19 vaccine, and 73 per cent were completely inoculated.Earlier, it was confirmed one group of Victorians was experiencing more infections with the virus than anyone else.Twenty-nine per cent of all of Saturday's new cases were in Victorians under the age of 19.That day, there were 1750 infections.Victoria Police Special Operation Group are seen during an anti-vaccine protest in Melbourne during lockdown in September.
