Premier Daniel Andrews said there are still far too many cases to be able to leave lockdown on time as planned on September 2nd. 9News
More than 51,000 tests were conducted on top of 31,000 vaccinations administered.
"Obviously, with almost 100 cases today where many of them remain mysteries, many of them were out in the community during their infectious period, it is not going to be possible for us to be able to open up our Victorian community in just a couple of day's time. "If you have symptoms for days and days and you convince yourself that it is not coronavirus and that you can safely ignore those symptoms, only to then go and get tested, the chances are it is almost certain you will have infected everybody in your household," he said.
There are currently 773 active cases of COVID-19 across the state and of those, 300 are under 20-years-old.
