Mr Andrews has encouraged Victorians to continue to be tested this weekend, particularly due to sunny weather which could see increased movement around the state.
"It makes a massive difference to the completeness of the picture that we are working with, as well as in very practical terms," he said yesterday.
"If you get tested, if you are positive, we can support you, we can support your family and we can make sure that you don't spread this virus, almost always unknowingly, to other people."
"The weather on the weekend will be better. Can I ask every Victorian, if you have got symptoms this weekend, please don't wait until Monday to get tested … We will get the result back to you within 24 hours."
More to come.
