Victoria has recorded 15 new coronavirus cases and two further deaths overnight.
Metropolitan Melbourne's 14-day rolling average has dropped slightly from 16.4 yesterday to 15.6 today.
Regional Victoria's rolling average remains at 0.3.
The number of "mystery" cases with an unknown source recorded in Melbourne in the latest two-week period remains at 21, after dropping from Tuesday's total of 27.
In order for Melbourne to move to step three of the state's "roadmap" out of restrictions, Victoria needs to record a 14-day average below five and fewer than five "mystery" infections over two weeks.
Premier Daniel Andrews said yesterday Melbourne was "on track" to take steps out of lockdown in October, and defended the pace of the state's roadmap.
"I know these numbers are coming down and that's a great thing … you've got to do this in a steady way."
The State Government is expected to provide more details on today's coronavirus numbers later today.
The Premier is expected to hold today's coronavirus press conference at 11:15am (AEST).
Data released by Victoria's Department of Health and Human Services overnight has shown more than 100 healthcare workers were infected with coronavirus at two Melbourne hospitals since the start of the pandemic.
Home haircut plans lead to fine
Victoria Police have issued 80 fines to people for breaching the Chief Health Officer's directions overnight.
Two men who were found more than 5 kilometres from their homes told police they were going to a friend's house to have a haircut.
Another man, who was waiting outside a shop to buy a PlayStation 4 controller, was also fined for being more than 5 kilometres from his home and not wearing a mask.
More to come.
