It's a personal and potentially polarising topic for many people as the number of COVID-19 cases falls across the regions.

As of Friday, regional Victoria was three known cases away from being clear of COVID-19. Department of Health and Human Services data showed only Colac Otway, East Gippsland, and Mitchell shires had cases remaining, one each.

More coronavirus news:

Regional Victoria's 14-day rolling average of new cases a day sat at 0.2, while Melbourne was at 12.8 and the state as a whole, 13.2.

Central Victoria has been clear of known COVID-19 cases since September 29, when Macedon Ranges returned to zero cases.

Greater Bendigo's last known COVID-19 case was cleared on September 25.

Regional Victoria advanced to the "third step" of the state government's COVID-19 reopening road map more than two weeks ago. Now, the Bendigo Advertiser wants to know what you're thinking about potential next steps.

Would you like to see things reopen now? Or are you happier to wait and be sure coronavirus is definitely no longer a threat in the regions before taking the next step?
