Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said six deaths of the 11 announced deaths occurred in the last 24 hours while five people died prior to yesterday, "but in recent days".
"So, again, if you have compatible symptoms - a runny nose, a tickly throat, headache, cough, fever - please get tested. We've seen reasonable numbers of testing in the last couple of days, but we do need to keep that up," he said.Professor Sutton said the government's strategy was being driven by the principle that the current caseload was the tail end of the virus.
"That said, there might be cases out there, so do not be complacent and think that there isn't the possibility of cases being introduced into your postcode, if you're in regional Victoria, get tested if you're symptomatic," he said. He noted many countries such as Spain and France were dealing with thousands of new cases on a daily basis.
"It is good to see these numbers continue to fall. It is good to see that the strategy continues to be successful," he said.
