Victoria has recorded zero new cases of COVID-19 from more than 29,000 tests.
The Department of Health revealed no new infections were detected in hotel quarantine and none were found in the community.
The state was meant to further ease restrictions today, but due to COVID-19 outbreaks flaring up in several states and territories, Health Minister Martin Foley said the relaxing of measures had to be postponed.

"We are not increasing restrictions, as other states around the Australian mainland are, but what we are doing is holding them where they are," Mr Foley said.
The winding back of restrictions would have seen capacity increase to 85 per cent for stadiums, allowing larger crowds at AFL matches and 100 per cent capacity at theatres.
Victorian officials will now reassess the easing of restrictions in seven days' time.
