GPs and their staff will only have to isolate for five days, rather than two weeks, when a patient tests positive for COVID-19 under reforms being considered in Victoria.

They come amid reports that dozens of practices have been ordered to close after being deemed ‘tier-one’ exposure sites during the state’s third wave, which has seen daily cases rise to more than 1700.
