Victoria has recorded 76 new coronavirus infections overnight and 11 further deaths, taking the state's COVID-19 death toll to 694.
Yesterday the Department of Health and Human Services reported daily case averages of 78.6 for metropolitan Melbourne and 4.9 for regional Victoria.
Under Victoria's roadmap out of restrictions, metropolitan Melbourne needs to record a 14-day average of between 30 and 50 cases per day in order to progress to the next step on September 28. Regional Victoria will move to the third step when it records a daily case average below five and zero "mystery" cases for 14 days.
The Victorian Government has fast-tracked planning approvals for nearly $1 billion of construction projects to help the state's economy recover from COVID-19. The projects, announced this morning, include a social housing development, a solar farm in the Latrobe Valley, an aged care facility and apartment buildings.
