The numbers come on the fourth full day Victorians spend free from lockdown.

Today also marks the first day in two weeks that community sport across the state has been allowed to resume.

Some restrictions have still remained in place though with indoors venues limited to 100 people and outdoor venues capped at 300.

Spectators are banned except for special circumstances such as if parents need to supervise.

Yesterday, the state recorded three new local cases of the virus, and the mystery case concerning authorities was finally linked back to the Ariele Apartment complex.
