Victoria has recorded 14 new coronavirus cases and a further five deaths in the last 24 hours.
Victoria has recorded 14 new cases and five deaths in the last 24 hours, continuing a downward trend as Premier Daniel Andrews says the state's strategy is working.
Metropolitan Melbourne now has a 14-day new case average of 36.2, well below the state's target of 50. It comes after the state reported 21 new cases and seven deaths on Saturday, with Mr Andrews saying the numbers told "a powerful story of what can be achieved when you stay the course"."When you don't get side-tracked by some of the loudest voices, who I understand are hurting and want to open up, we'd all like to open up as quickly as possible, but we won't be open for very long if we don't first get these numbers down to a low level.
During the curfew, people in Melbourne can only leave their house for work, and essential health, care or safety reasons. Between 5am and 9pm, people in Melbourne can leave the home for exercise, to shop for necessary goods and services, for work, for health care, or to care for a sick or elderly relative.
