Victoria has recorded 1,471 new local COVID-19 cases and four deaths as quarantine-free international travel returns to Melbourne.
There are now 21,959 active cases of the virus in Victoria, and 309 people have died during the current Delta outbreak.
The new cases were identified from 46,065 test results received yesterday.
There are now 699 people in hospital with COVID-19 in Victoria, of whom 136 are in intensive care, and 86 are on a ventilator.
The seven-day average for people in hospital is now 742.
Hospitalisations during the current outbreak peaked on October 18 when 851 people were in hospital.
There were 14,413 doses of vaccine administered at state-run sites yesterday, and more vaccinations at GP clinics and other venues.
Victoria is expected to reach the target of having 90 per cent of its population aged 12 and over fully vaccinated by November 24.
That will trigger more easing of restrictions, including the removal of density limits.
For the first time in 18 months, international arrivals do not have to undergo two weeks of hotel quarantine upon their arrival in Melbourne.
Flights from Singapore, Hong Kong, and Tokyo are arriving today, while a number of departure flights for fully vaccinated passengers are scheduled for this afternoon.
