Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said those getting tested over the next four-to-six weeks at a state-run site or community health service could collect a box of masks.

Masks are available at the Australian Clinical Labs testing site at 133 Fairy Street in Warrnambool and Hamilton Base Hospital's drive-thru testing site.

Masks will also be distributed at multicultural, multi-faith events and Aboriginal gatherings, and at disability service providers.

Masks will also be available from Public Transport Victoria hubs and train stations.

Masks are still mandatory in high-risk settings including hospitals, aged care and on public transport.

Wearing a mask is strongly recommended if you are in an indoor setting, can't physically distance, have any COVID-19 symptoms or are with people who may be vulnerable to COVID-19.
