Victoria has recorded just 14 new cases of COVID-19, exactly one week out from the planned date for further easing of restrictions.Premier Daniel Andrews praised Victorians for their commitment and resolve as the 14-day rolling average in Melbourne fell to 36.2 cases.Penny StephensAdvertisement
"Ultimately, these numbers are cause for great optimism and a positivity, I would hope, right across Metropolitan Melbourne, just as regional Victoria this week has taken two big steps to open up and we're seeing stability in those numbers. Days this week with no new cases across regional Victoria despite significant testing activity. We will see the same thing occur in Metropolitan Melbourne and we'll do it in a safe and steady way.
"Can I thank each and every one of those almost 12,500 Victorians," Mr Andrews said. "Again, if I can urge and ask all Victorians - don't put it off until tomorrow. Don't wait at all. If you've got symptoms, however mild, please come forward and get tested." Mr Andrews this morning has said the outbreak, based around Narre Warren and Hallam, was an example of how quickly outbreaks could take off again.
Well-known venues across Melbourne and regional Victoria will be among the first to receive grants under the program. Melbourne's 14-day rolling average is now 36.2, meaning in all likelihood Melburnians can look forward to gatherings of up to five people from two different households in public spaces and the re-opening of childcare centres.
