Today's figures bring the rolling 14-day average number of cases down to just 0.4, with two cases in the past fortnight having an unknown source.

There are now just four active cases of coronavirus across the state, including two who are receiving treatment in hospital, Premier Daniel Andrews has confirmed.

Mr Andrews has flagged "significant announcements" will be made today about the futher easing of coronavirus restrictions, with further detail to be revealed about the road ahead for the state through to at the end of November.

Under the current roadmap, from 11.59pm on Sunday, the 25km travel restriction will be dropped in Melbourne and the 'ring of steel' separating metro from regional Victoria will also come down.

Gyms and fitness studios will also reopen and patron capacity limits at hospitality venues will be expanded.

No details have been revealed about the number of visitors permitted inside households.

However, mandatory mask use looks set to stay for the time being, with Victorian Health Minister yesterday remaining tight-lipped on any planned changes.

"I think Victorians should be prepared to keep masks going because they are working," he said.
