Victoria has recorded 64 local cases of COVID-19, with the state government in talks with the Commonwealth to increase vaccine supply to inoculate 120,000 more Victorians per week.
More than 55,300 test results were returned on Friday, with 35,753 vaccination doses completed. No cases were detected in hotel quarantine. The latest tier-2 exposure sites were listed in the suburbs of North Melbourne, Hoppers Crossing, Croydon, Croydon North, Broadmeadows, Wheelers Hill, Lilydale, Mooroolbark and the CBD.
The state government is also considering direct payments to GPs to encourage them to vaccinate patients on weekends when subsidies in the federally run scheme often fail to cover wage costs.
