Breaking Victoria has recorded 13 new coronavirus infections and four deaths, with the state's mystery cases and 14-day case average continuing to fall.
The average needs to drop below five and there must be fewer than five mystery cases for a fortnight before the state eases further restrictions.
Originally, the earliest date the metropolitan region could move to step three was 26 October, but the government has now brought that date forward to 19 October. It comes after his former health minister Jenny Mikakos tweeted:"We are well on the way to eradication."
