Victoria records 705 new COVID-19 cases as Geelong and Surf Coast leave lockdown - ABC News

Victoria has recorded 705 new local cases of COVID-19 and one more death.

The cases were detected from 51,252 test results processed on Sunday.

At state-run sites, 29,657 doses of the vaccine were administered.

The City of Greater Geelong and Surf Coast Shire left lockdown at 11:59pm Sunday, with only metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire in lockdown.

Victoria is expected to reach its target of having 80 per cent of the population aged 16 and older vaccinated with at least one dose this week.

On the weekend, Premier Daniel Andrews confirmed a modest easing of restrictions would occur across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria from Wednesday.

The travel radius will be extended from 10 to 15 kilometres, while contactless recreational activities such as golf, tennis and boating will be allowed to resume.

The next milestone in Victoria's roadmap after that is the staggered return of onsite learning at schools across Melbourne and regional Victoria from October 5.
