Mr Andrews told yesterday’s media conference that there had been no new cases in regional Victoria, but DHHS revealed later in the day that there had actually been two new cases in Colac.
Those cases were already in isolation as close contacts of existing cases.
Victoria has recorded 35 new COVID-19 cases in the past 24 hours and seven deaths.
There are 122 people in hospital, 12 in intensive care and seven on ventilators.
There are 1075 active cases in the whole of Victoria.
Mr Andrews said falling case numbers in regional Victoria were “a testament to the hard work and absolute determination of regional Victorians to not only get these numbers low and keep them low and we are grateful to every single person across regional Victoria for the part they are playing”.
“Regional Victoria took a step yesterday, as did metropolitan Melbourne, there is an opportunity for regional Victoria to take yet another step in just a few days’ time if these trends continue.”
Regional Victoria has recorded an average of 3.9 new cases a day over the past 14 days.
