Yesterday (Tuesday, August 4), Victoria recorded 439 new cases of Covid-19 and 11 more deaths - all of which were connected to aged care.
It comes as Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison lashed out at people who are flouting coronavirus laws like wearing a face mask.
He was particularly upset at reports of a police officer having her head bashed against the concrete after telling a woman in Melbourne put on a face covering.
"Get real. This is a difficult time for everybody, I know people are angry and frustrated," Mr Morrison told Seven's Sunrise program.

"It is not unreasonable to wear a mask, not unreasonable to do the most basic things around distancing."
It's been mandatory for people in Melbourne Metro and Mitchell Shire areas to have a face covering for several weeks. There has been a rise of people openly challenging the rule for a variety of reasons.
More to come.
