The latest 'double doughnut day' came after 14,614 tests were processed in the past 24 hours.

Deputy Chief Health Officer Allen Cheng stressed that any relaxation of coronavirus rules would be implemented cautiously but flagged a chance that mask rules might ease within a month.

Government modelling had predicted Victoria wouldn't reach this point until November 23, when the state will move to the next phase out of lockdown. "What we're trying to do is step through that cautiously and the order of that really depends on you know what's easy to do, what restrictions can be relaxed that will be relatively high impact and improve people's lives.

"As case numbers have come down over the past few weeks, the DHHS... has created and tested, an algorithm that has identified some additional 515 historical cases that are connected to close contacts, or establish outbreaks," he said.Professor Cheng said the algorithm allowed authorities to mine case data and was backed by manual reviews.

The full detail of changes will be announced next Sunday but Mr Andrews has previously said 10 people will be allowed to visit a home at a time and public gatherings will grow to 50 people outdoors.

Hopefully he admits elimination was his plan all along. Actually this will be filed away in his “memory” just like who signed the contract for private security.

Fantastic result. A lesson in here for inquiring minds.
