Victoria has recorded its first COVID-related death in more than a month, after a woman aged in her 70s died from complications related to the disease.
The Department of Health and Human services (DHHS) said the woman was diagnosed with coronavirus in late July and was cleared as an active case in late September.
However, because she did not make a full recovery from the original infection, her death is considered COVID-19 related.
She is the 820th person to die from coronavirus in Victoria.
The last two coronavirus deaths recorded in Victoria were on October 28, but those deaths had occurred some weeks before they were added to COVID-related fatalities.
Prior to that, the last recorded death was that of a man aged in his 90s on October 19.

The state continues to record no new infections and there are no active cases.
About 5,000 test results were received in the past 24 hours, down from 5,905 the previous day.
The death comes as thousands of Victorians return to their offices today as part of a gradual easing of coronavirus restrictions.
Businesses with fewer than 40 people can have 10 workers back on site, while large workplaces can have up to a quarter of office staff back at work.
Public service employees will continue to work from home.
More to come.
