Premier Daniel Andrews has confirmed 134 new coronavirus cases in Victoria in the past 24 hours, 75 of which are from public housing towers across Melbourne. The Premier announced there were almost 30,000 tests conducted across the state on Tuesday, bringing the total number of tests to more than one million.
"We know of course we didn't want to be in the position we're in," Mr Andrews said. "This is the challenge we have to meet. If we all work together over the next six weeks, as painful and frustrating and difficult as that will be, we'll be able to commence our opening up. "We have significant community transmission but at the same time we have vast parts of regional Victoria with no cases.
