Victoria’s chief health officer Professor Brett Sutton on Tuesday said authorities are expecting “at least” a couple of hundred COVID-19 patients to be admitted to hospital in coming weeks.
Outbreaks in a number of aged care facilities have also grown.
He said the number of people in hospital had increased by 13 in the past 24 hours to 85, and the number of people in intensive care units had increased by nine to 26.
Twenty-one of those patients are on ventilators.
“That’s a measure of the fact that we’re going into a phase where a lot of our current cases will be deteriorating,” Prof Sutton said.
