Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews on ADF door knocks
Premier Daniel Andrews said more than 130 people who have tested positive to coronavirus were not at home over the past two days.
"Those matters have been referred to Victoria Police, that will be a matter for them," Mr Andrews said.
"This is not just about compliance it's about providing information and clarity. It's about saying to families what can we do for you, is there anything you need.
"We've been able to have groceries bought ... and scripts filled. It's not just about checking, it's about reaching out and providing support and care.
$300 payment figures
Mr Andrews said 5,200 people had applied for the $300 payment which is on offer to people waiting for a test result and who have no sick leave.
Mr Andrews said 4,200 people have been paid out a total of $1.26 million.
Business support grants
12,600 businesses have received $5000 grant, costing the Government $63 million total.
77,600 businesses have been paid $10,000 grants.
PM and the reproduction number
Mr Andrews said he would speak with the Prime Minister again today and over the weekend.
He called the pandemic a "wicked tragedy".
Mr Andrews said the state's R0 value was about one, meaning every person with the virus was infecting, on average, one other person.
"Unless we drive that number down then we will not see our numbers halve and halve again and halve again and we will be in this limbo where we have stopped it from getting completely out of control ... but we haven't been able to suppress if sufficiently."
