THOSE living in the Strathbogie Shire - along with the rest of regional Victoria are once again being asked to stop the spread of COVID-19 and abide by stage three restrictions, which come into effect today.

The sweeping new restrictions, will mean that restaurants, cafes, bars and gyms will close from 11:59pm on Wednesday.

Strathbogie Shire mayor Amanda McClaren said her council is working hard to keep our community safe at local level.
