Victoria- 507 new cases

Victoria has recorded 507 new locally acquired Covid-19 cases today, as new cases continue to rise during lockdown.

It’s the eighth straight day Victoria has recorded more than 400 new cases and the fourth in a row above 500 as infections continue to trend upwards.

One new death was also announced today.

Eleven people have now died from Covid during the latest outbreak. A total of 831 have died since the start of the pandemic.

The health department did not say how many mystery cases there were or how many were in isolation during their infectious period.

Despite the rising cases, Premier Daniel Andrews is set to reveal Victoria’s road map out of lockdown later today.

Victorians will learn what new freedoms that will be able to enjoy once 70 per cent of the population is double vaccinated, which is predicted to be in late October.

Face-to-face school classes, outdoor dining and extended travel limits are expected to be some of the first restrictions eased.

Greater freedoms will then be put in place once the state reaches 80 per cent of people aged 16 and older with two doses of the vaccine, which is predicted to be in mid-November.
