Victoria Records Lowest Daily Increase Of Coronavirus Cases In 99 Days

Victoria has recorded just 11 new cases of coronavirus in 24 hours.

That's the lowest daily increase in infections in the state in 99 days.

The Department of Health and Human Services has revealed that there were also two deaths since yesterday.

The last time Victoria recorded such a comparatively small jump in cases was on June 14 when there were just nine new cases recorded over a 24 hour period.

Yesterday, there was 14 new cases recorded and many are hopeful that Victoria is through the worst of the second wave of infections.

Premier Daniel Andrews is confident restrictions could be eased within a week if the numbers keep going on a downward trend.

"This is a good day, though," he said. "A day where Victorians can be proud of the work that they've done, their commitment, their resolve to see this off."
