Victoria has recorded nine new cases of coronavirus overnight, but no deaths with the disease have been reported in the past 24 hours.
Melbourne's 14-day rolling case average is now 11.6, down from 11.9 yesterday.
But regional Victoria's average has risen slightly, from 0.2 yesterday to 0.3 today.
The last time the state reported no deaths in a 24-hour period was September 15.
Before that, Victoria had reported at least one death every day since July 14.
In Melbourne, the total number of mystery cases with an unknown source recorded in the latest 14-day period — September 19 to October 2 — remains at 13.
Yesterday three cases with an unknown source were confirmed in the postcodes of 3145, 3023 and 3019.
Public health officials will assess whether Melbourne can move to the next step of restrictions getting lifted when the state records a 14-day average below five, and fewer than five mystery cases over two weeks.
Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said even though mystery cases were "bouncing around a bit", they still made up less than 10 per cent of cases overall.
"So if total cases go down and mystery cases go down with them, then we will also be getting close to that total number of five or close enough," he said yesterday.
Premier Daniel Andrews will hold today's coronavirus press conference at 10:30am (AEDT).
More to come.
