Victoria records 16 new coronavirus cases and two further deaths overnight, as Melburnians prepare for the next step of restrictions being eased in the city.
From tomorrow, people from a maximum of two households will be allowed to gather in groups of up to five, and outdoor exercise with a personal trainer will be permitted.
Some industries will be allowed to move from "heavily restricted" to "restricted" environments, which will allow an estimated 101,000 people to return to their workplaces. On Friday, the Premier flagged that the third step of Melbourne's roadmap of restrictions, which is currently scheduled for October 26, might be able to happen sooner.
"The positive thing out of these last few weeks since we announced the roadmap is we are ahead of schedule," he said on Friday.
