NSW Health is treating 64 COVID-19 cases,with one patient in intensive care who is not on a ventilator. Ninety-four per cent of cases being treated by NSW Health are in non-acute,out-of-hospital care.
Victorian authorities initially reported two COVID cases but reclassified one and the lone case left may be removed from the tally.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has explained that the health department is investigating whether the case is active or still"shedding"the virus from a previous infection.
"I would just say when you look at these numbers,this could potentially be a day of zero and it's been a long time since we had a day of zero and it's a testament to the hard work of every single Victorian in the city,in the suburbs,in regional communities,large and small,"Mr Andrews said.
"We are well placed this weekend to be able to make very significant announcements about a further step to opening."
