More than 73 per cent of Victorians aged 16 and above have now had both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, with the government expected to announce the next steps for 80 per cent today.

Victoria has recorded the deaths of 11 more people with COVID-19 and 1,935 new cases of the virus ahead of an announcement about the next steps out of lockdown.It brings the state closer to an 80 per cent target, which is projected to be hit within the week.

The government is expected to make an announcement today about what freedoms will be granted once the milestone is reached. Under the current roadmap, all of Victoria will move to the same settings, Melbourne retail and gyms will open and masks will no longer be mandatory outdoors.The ABC understands the border around Melbourne will be dropped from Friday, allowing Victorians to travel anywhere in the state ahead of the Melbourne Cup weekend.

The new infections were found from 69,624 tests processed on Saturday, which was Melbourne's second day out of lockdown.There are now 787 people in Victorian hospitals with COVID-19, 17 more than yesterday, suggesting a "welcome" plateau discussed by authorities yesterday has continued. But COVID-19 response commander Jeroen Weimar yesterday warned the state was "not out of the woods yet" and that how many more people became ill would depend on people's behaviour now lockdowns have lifted.The vast majority of those in hospital had not received both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Johnson says fresh UK lockdown not on cards as COVID-19 cases riseAs advisers suggest that acting early with lighter measures to cut rising case numbers would reduce the need for tougher restrictions later, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says a new COVID-19 lockdown is not on the cards. Johnson also says vaccines don't stop transmission, so allowing vaccinated people to arrive from overseas without quarantining is just reckless idiocy. Especially given the Delta plus strain is 10% of UK cases, and we have zero in Australia. auspol No just a nice fresh variant, Delta+, caused by letting Delta run free in the community, giving time for mutations to develop, and more contagious than Delta. Thanks Boris. He’s doing elbow bumps so it’s all okay.
