Vic health authorities confident restrictions can be eased 14/06/2021|3min
Victorian health authorities are confident coronavirus restrictions will be eased later this week after only two new cases were recorded overnight, which are linked to existing outbreaks.
This comes after just one new local infection was recorded on Sunday, which was tied to the Arcare Maidstone outbreak.
Health officials are hoping for increased testing numbers which have dropped in recent days so they can confidently ease restrictions.

The Department of Health said all four new local cases were from the same household and “investigations into acquisition source are underway”.
There were no new cases in hotel quarantine and there are now 78 active cases in the state.
The state administered 20,784 doses of coronavirus vaccine on Wednesday taking the total number of state-administered doses to 725,049.
The figures come after health authorities added 22 new exposure windows at Arcare Maidstone aged care and four new locations in Melbourne’s north late on Wednesday.
Arcare Maidstone’s new listings, all tier 1, are linked to the facility’s Magnolia Unit and the communal facilities area all day and night from May 27 to June 5 and again on May 26 from 7am to 11.59pm.
