The state of Victoria has recorded one Covid-19 death and 334 new locally-acquired cases, the biggest daily case tally of the outbreak to date.<\/p>\n
Of the new cases, only 149 have been so far linked to known outbreaks.<\/p>\n
It comes as regional Victoria, with the exception of Greater Shepparton, begins its first day out of lockdown, with schools re-opening to some students and travel restrictions eased.<\/p>\n
Hospitality venues have reopened, with capacity limits of 10 people indoors and 20 outdoors.<\/p>\n
Premier Daniel Andrews said he hoped Greater Shepparton would join the rest of regional Victoria next week, pending any further outbreak.<\/p>\n
He also warned residents of metropolitan Melbourne not to travel to regional Victoria.<\/p>\n
“If you are travelling into regional Victoria, you can expect to be pulled over,” Mr Andrews said.<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n
