Victoria has recorded 35 new coronavirus cases and seven deaths, as Melbourne takes its first tentative steps out of lockdown.
From Monday, people living alone or single parents will be allowed to have one other visitor as part of a"social bubble".
Melbourne will move to the"second step", including increased limits for public gatherings and a staged return to school for some students, from September 28 if the average falls to 30-50. The Labor government on Sunday announced a $3 billion suite of cash grants, payroll tax deferrals and fee waivers, described by Premier Daniel Andrews as"the biggest package of business support in the history of this state".
