Victoria has recorded 334 new locally acquired cases of COVID-19, the biggest daily tally of the outbreak to date, and one coronavirus death.
There were 39,027 vaccinations administered at state run sites, with 42,998 test results received.
Of the new cases, only 149 have been so far linked to known outbreaks.
It comes as regional Victoria, with the exception of Greater Shepparton, begins its first day out of lockdown with schools reopening to some students and travel restrictions eased.
Hospitality venues have reopened, with strict capacity limits of 10 people indoors and 20 outdoors.
Premier Daniel Andrews said he hoped Greater Shepparton would join the rest of regional Victoria next week, pending further outbreaks.
He also warned residents of metropolitan Melbourne not to travel to regional Victoria.
"If you are travelling into regional Victoria, you can expect to be pulled over," Mr Andrews said.
"It won't necessarily be every single car, but there'll be number plate recognition technology used, there will be a static presence of Victoria Police at different parts on major roads."
More to come.
