Colac has had no new COVID-19 cases in the past 24 hours, with no new cases in regional Victoria.
Premier Daniel Andrews told a media briefing this morning that Colac Otway now has 29 active cases, down from 30 yesterday, while Geelong has 11 active cases and Ballarat has none.
“So communities that were of some concern to us a few weeks ago, those communities have done a mighty job in following the rules, getting tested,” Mr Andrews said.
“Indeed all regional Victorians have, from the smallest of country towns to some of these bigger regional cities, these numbers are low and that is in large part due to the amazing efforts that regional Victorians have made.”
There are now 72 active cases in regional Victoria, down from 82 yesterday.
