Victoria has recorded 11 fresh locally-acquired COVID-19 cases. However all were in quarantine throughout their period of infection.
Health officials say the new cases are also all linked to current outbreaks.
Victoria managed to administer 17,370 vaccine doses in the 24 hours to Sunday, with 32,385 virus tests conducted for the same period.
Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said on Saturday the state was "on track" for a planned easing of restrictions on Tuesday but declined to confirm it.
Victoria recorded 12 new locally acquired cases on Saturday, 10 of them in quarantine throughout their entire infectious period and also all linked to current outbreaks.
The numbers continue an encouraging downward trend in new diagnoses after 14 cases were reported on Friday and 26 on Thursday.
Professor Sutton introduced a new travel designation for NSW late on Friday, making the whole state an "extreme risk zone" backdated to 9 July.
This makes it difficult for Victorians in NSW to come home unless they get a rare exemption or have a Specified Worker Permit.
"It's very strict in terms of the movement of people across the border," he said.
Asked on Saturday whether Victoria could expect an easing of its own restrictions on Tuesday, as scheduled, Professor Sutton said the signs were positive but he declined to commit to it.
Health Minister Martin Foley insists the risk designation of NSW is a natural progression of attempts to protect Victoria and not to do with Premier Daniel Andrews' call for a "ring of steel" blockade around Sydney.
He also moved on Saturday to hose down the idea of tensions with NSW over a lack of willingness to redirect vaccines to Sydney's virus-ridden suburbs.
Mr Foley said Victoria and other states had "legitimate demands" on scarce vaccines for July and August which had already been allocated to them based on population.
However he welcomed recent reports of spare Pfizer doses in the national stockpile and said he'd be happy for those to be sent to NSW.
Meanwhile an anti-lockdown protest in Melbourne on Saturday was brought to a violent end as police used pepper spray to clear the crowd.
Thousands of protesters of all ages chanted "freedom" as they gathered outside Victoria's Parliament House.
"We can all argue the merits or otherwise of various approaches to managing transmission, but let's not pretend that 'marching for freedom' will actually deliver the precious freedom that we all need and desire. end/," Professor Sutton later tweeted.
As of Saturday, more than 22,000 Victorians were listed as primary close contacts isolating at home, while about 2500 MCG contacts were preparing to be released from 14 days of confinement.
